Has anyone ever seen these, or used these? I'm not really grasping the idea of how it works, or if it will benefit my combination.
I was reading a few threads with people using the CC306 cam on their stock short-block LT1's and every once in a while, people bump in saying that they are using this set-up or that someone should be using this.
My personal set up is a cc306, stock lifters, Comp .0072 Chromemoly Push-Rods , & Comp Magnum 1.52RR
Also any idea of which part number I am supposed to use? If you guys think its a good idea, I may go ahead with it and call AFR.

For what its worth the kit you pictured is very tricky to install, When ed isky invented it in the late 50s /E 60s it was used on the stock cars of the day ( nascar ) was intended for sustained high enging speeds -- the blocks had to be machined if springs contacted the water jacket PLEASE NOTE : ( light pressure small diameter valve springs slinkie < they walk hitting the block > )) (( - and sometimes the bottom of the heads had to be made flat enough to balance the springs from end to end ( equlize the pressure ) -- as well as side to side -- left and right on the heads -- not to menchion the tops of the lifters needed to end up in the exact same location as installed onto them -- all for maybe 75 pounds of pressure -- it was very expensive to do that 25 / 35 years ago and i dought many of todays shops ever even seen it done much less done it themselves > reason being ( valve spring tech has come a very long way ) -- dont look for anything thats not stupid simple -- todays stuff is light years from some of the early stuff -- just my take -- jz
