With stock cam....will increase HP slighty...can't hurt....worth it....do you have the top end disasembled???
Then go for it......check clearance on valve covers...for oil drain back...should be OK..... :cheers:

its worth it. Get nw valve springs while your at it. Dont get the lt4 springs, theyre not needed and willrob approx.5-10 horse cuz of the extra pressure. Stick with the stock replacements. Guaranteed higher revving ability + smoothness.

Go with the LT4 springs, the stock springs are within 0.020" of crush with 1.6 rockers and the stock cam. You won't lose any HP from them, they are very light, ~240# closed.
