      So how does this look?

      - Texas Speed Torquer II Camshaft; 232/234 .595/.598 with 113 lobe
      seperation.
      - LS6 Intake with LS1 injectors and 78mm throttle body stock MAF
      (screen removed).
      - PRC LS6 CNC Ported Heads; 2.00/1.55 with double springs
      upgrade.
      - Texas Speed & Performance Chromemoly Pushrods.
      - GM LS2 Timing Chain.
      - Ported LS6 oil pump.



      Is this going to give me what I want (driveability, lopey sound, not difficult to idle) without having to notch the pistions? What kind of power to the rear wheels and crank can I hope to have with this setup? Also, they recommended a 3500 TCI convertor for my 4L60E trans. I have 3.73 gears and 26" tires.

      Thanks guys, I see a light at the end of the tunnel here.

      I think the stall is a little high for a street car

      maybe a 2200 stall would be better. It is going to feel real soggy driving around with a 3500 stall not to mention you will generate a ton of heat in the fluid. Good set up for a street strip car, but not so hot for a pro-tour car.

      If you have not bought the MAF, I would go with a C5 Z06 MAF. 30lbs SVO injectors. You would pick up some HP with a FAST 90mm intake, but I see you have already bought the Z06 so run it.

      There is a guy up your way named Shaun Carter he owns SMC Performance, Inc. Lots of new and used, stock and performance LS stuff. Give him a call 248-276-0483 I got some coil packs, valve covers, sensors, stock rockers, etc at great prices. He is in the Detroit area I believe.

      As far as notching the pistons it is going to be close. Depends on thickness of head gasket, and how much they shave off the heads they (person you are getting heads from) should be able to tell you that.

      That cam is pretty close to what Steve is running in Penny and I think he pulled 13 or 14 inches of vaccum at idle.
