Default Need Help

I have a PTK kit that I am installing and would like to ask a question. I am wanting to up the performance a little and need to know what size Camshaft, Rock arms, Valve Springs and Pushrods to get? I am running a stock LS1 in a 98 Vette. Any help would be helpful. Does anyone sale a set with Camshaft and all other parts as one. Don’t need to go to big running stock motor and only trying to go about 10lb.


thanks Tanner Smith

Its a top mount Twin Turbo kit.

Dont go big on the cam I think a 228 cam would be enough, and keep the lift under .560. Good luck with the install
ECS has some good FI cams from what I have read on here and as always Andy at A&A. Go to the FI section they will help you out alot.
