Default Zippers shim

Did a search and didn't see anything. I'm converting to the 07 up hydrolic cam chain tensioners, which includes the billet cam plate and new oil pump. I'm also doing a top end build (88-->95"), head porting and cam change (Woods 6-6). With the new oil pump set-up, do I need to get a Zippers shim, or Baisley spring, or am I good to go? thanks.

The new style pumps flows much more oil. You would be wasting your money IMO on a stiffer spring.

Yup i agree with Dalton...
For a bolt in cam like the woods 6, andrews 37..etc.. i think stock is fine.

With higher lift or faster ramped cams, i would recomend it. It never hurts.

Thanks both for quick reply. That was my intuition, but always good to verify.
