Doing a valve train upgrade..
Well, I cancelled my Hotcam order after talking with lcvette (Thanks again for all the help!) .. I have decided to make a little more of an investment, and build a stronger valvetrain.. Just wanted to see what y'all think!
-Comp ProMag 1.6 Rocker arms
-Engine Works Ti Retainers
-Engine Works Hardened Pushrods
-Engine Works Billet Double Roller timing Set
-Engine Works Rocker Studs
-Engine Works Guide Plates
-Engine Works 0.550" Springs with Dampener
-Meziere Electric Water Pump
-and for the cam, I will use the GM Hot Cam
After chatting with lcvette, I think this will make a much stronger valve train.. :)

Looks like a good combo, though not sure about the springs (I assume they are matched to the cam & 1.6RRs).
You'll need 10deg locks (keepers) with those Ti retainers.
You might consider new valve seals too. Mine were only about $50 from local GM dealer.
