If your gonna swap the cam absolutely swap the push rods and springs with aftermarket! Stock springs and pr are barley adequate for a stock cam. I got a low mile scoggin dicky z+221 for 140$ a set of prc 1518 springs new off of eBay for 100$, and Brian tools pushrods, for 95$ and about 100 bucks on gaskets, locktight, new balance bolt, tool to install balancer, tool to install springs, and tool to hold valves up, you can borrow a tq wrench and balance removal tool from orielys or auto zone, balance tool on eBay 20$, tims valve spring tool on ls1tech for 35$ air hose to hold up valves at orielys for 8$. By the way the truck intake does as good or better than the ls6 intake till above 6000, and the ls6 is not a very significant gain past that. You are looking at a good days work lol. Oh and go get 2 5/16 steel rods grind one end to a point and cut them 6" longer than the block and bend the ends in a L shape the one for the pass side needs a flat spot a 1/4 wide ground down the whole length then when you pull the cam plate you can spin the cam a few times and slide the rods into the two oil gally holes to hold the liters up. The longest part for me was changing the springs its tedious!
