Default L98 Heads

I want to get new parts for my heads and I would prefer Comp Cams. So can any1 recommend me any lifters, rockers, springs and pushrods because I have no clue what combination. My Vette is a 88.

Need more info on what you want to achieve.
Changing cam , what lift , etc ?

If changing pushrods can go to non self aligning rockers which are cheaper than stock self aligning type but you need to replace the pushrod guideplates as well.

Get the valve springs for that cam. Your pushrods and rockers are ok stock, roller lifters are too, if you don't have too many miles on them. I predict you're going to want a new intake soon after installing new cam.

Jegs brand has a full set of aluminum 1.6 ratio self aligning full RR's for $229. Part # 555-20145. They also have 1.5 ratio sets. You can use GMPP 101# LT4 springs and retainers for your heads. They are around $35 for the springs. If your seals are good that is all you need.
