Default Almost time for a cam swap !!!

Just bought a G5x3 for my 2002 6-speed. I also bought comp 921 springs. Should i go ahead and upgrade my pushrods and if so, whice ones should i get ?? I talked to anthony at LG Motorsports and he said that i could get a mail order tune through them for my cam and other mods.....has anyone had experience with this ?? Thanks for your replies and i will let you know how much i love this thing !!!

Where are you located? Do you have a local tuner? If not Lou can set you up with a mail order tune that should be pretty close. Your already swapping the springs, might as well do the hardened push rods as well. Lou has the pushrods in the cam package deal.

Im in shreveport LA. Its only 3 hours from dallas but i am a full time student and work full time to so its hard to get over there for them to tune it so ill just go with a mail order tune. Ill give Lou a call tomorrow and see what hes got. I wasnt thinking right and didnt order the package deal, do you happen to know what kind of pushrods come in his package?

You definitely need hardened pushrods. Your stock pushrods are not made to handle the added stress of a large cam and springs.
