Re: In SERIOUS need of help with a 95 Z28.
Okay I called the machine shop because I'm as confused as ever! They supply a lot of items that come in the Jegs kit. They said l I need is a cam, rocker arms and springs. So if I do the kit I will be getting a bunch of extra parts.
Ah, the joys of upgrading!

ya but they would prolly just supply the wrong parts haha
also if what you stated above is correct, then go with the jegs hot cam kit.
comes with springs, rockers, and cam. the retainers that are included are made for those springs so you must use those in that case.

Only mids I know of are pacesetters and MAC midlengths.
I personally owned a set of MAC's and they were horrible, they leaked and had a stupid design. I replaced the gaskets twice and then finally sold them.
googled it and appears SLP and AS&M make the midlengths aswell, but id bet they cost an arm and a leg.
looked up the pacesetters for ya, and they look like they got pretty good reviews one guy says "These are great if ground clearance is a problem or if you need to pass emissions." so that might be good for ya.

Macs do suck! like i said i had em.
also if you order that hot cam from jegs, might as well get the headers there too
70-1335 is the part number on their site they are 315$. And that is the lowest price i could find for you on the internet. plus their shipping fees your looking at like 325$-330$
on ebay you can get em for 315$ shipped.

Ordered the 70-1335 Headers ($265.49 Free shipping)
Question with the roller rockers that come with the hot kit....how often/do the rocker arms need to be adjusted?
Is it possible to reuse my stock rocker arms?

He keeps hearing from Joe blow here and there all this misinformation. Just verifying the truth from the smart ones here on the board. He was told he needed new intake gaskets every 3000 miles to adjust the roller rockers. ??...
He informed me his job has never needed him to dig in a motor. Just put in a motor. So he's completely confused.

After the initial setup of the rockers and that's it. No gaskets need replacement after that. These dudes at the shop seem very stupid or else they want more business on the future kuz u will think u need services u don't need

U will need hardened pishrods comp cams sells that at a decent price. But the mechanics will need to measur how Long they need to be. Hopefully they know how to do that
