TSP V2 cam...do I need new locks?
I have everything else and I was going to pick up a few extra stock valve locks to be safe incase I lose one. However seeing that they are so cheap should i pick up a set of Comps and replace the whole set or are the stockers ok? Also it looks like there are 10 and 7 degree angles does anyone know the stock degree angle or the locks?

Are you getting new valve springs? A new spring kit should have the locks.

The TSP springs/retainers are designed to be used with stock locks....I wasn't sure if the comps are better or any reason I should get a full set?

Get a full set of new 7 deg locks and do it right. Cheap insurance.

Buy the Comp machined locks if you are going to do it. They are stronger than the GM locks.
