If I only do the cam and springs and rev only to 6000 do I NEED rockers and hardened push rods? I ask because Vinci wants another 650 for the rocker pkg.

I am not saying they are not required....I am saying I wonder about them being needed on a boosted motor.....wondering if anyone has a comment on that.....
I spin my 5.3 to 6500 daily!

if your not going to rev it past 6500 i wouldn't mess with therod bolts. they are just for rpms and nothing else.
rockers are not needed either. not sure when pushrods are a good idea.

BlownChevy is running it and spins to 6500 so I assume that cam makes power at least to 6500. No matter what I go with I won't spin past 6500, in fact I'm scared to go that high...6200 is about as far as I'll be willing to go. So I've decided, no ARP rod bolts. There is a cam poll in the internal engine section. I need more votes
if you have the motor out, you might as well do the rod bolts it is easy, and cheap insurance.....the pushrods will be fine...you will most definately need to do the valve springs.

Well for $100 bucks I guess it wouldn't be a big deal to do the ARP bolts. What set do I need and what sponsor sells them? I'm looking for a direct link because I have no idea what part number I would need. I will definitely get the springs if I do the cam. This depends on if I can find someone who knows how to install a cam cause I don't 
Worst case, I'll take the engine to someone and have them put the cam in before I start on it. How much ya think it would be? The engine is right in front of him, should be a quick install for someone who knows what they are doing. OK, give me that ARP bolt link....

how high you rev it is a prety funny thing. on a stock cam 5800 just sounds like it is going to let go but with the right springs and cam in there you can rev it to 7000rpm and it doesn't sound high at all.
when i was na i took my 6.0 to 6800+ something like 100times a week. it didn't seem high at all, just depends on the cam and springs.
