you will need beehive style valve springs with special comp retainers to achieve the proper lift on your heads without machining them. You will also need to have the PCM retuned.

The LT4 production cam or ZZ4 cam are pretty well liked on OBS trucks and you can usually get away with the stock converter with those cams.

I agree on better valve springs. Maybe a set of nice rockers also. Its one of those 'might as wells ' ya know
