Thats a pretty good setup. I would use the ls7 lifters instead of the comps. IMO

I planned on using the LS7 lifters orignally but i was suggested to use the comps cause they are quieter

Been told to mill the heads a little to increase compression. Anyone have any suggestions on the milling? After talking to a few people we came up with the possibility of milling .015 and running a .040 gasket.

Any input?

I don't think you will SAFELY clear.

No mill, factory gasket 11+2 should put you .080ish on that cam I believe. That's as tight as would go.

That was about as big as I could fit without recessing valve in my setup.

Also search Chrs1313. He is stock headed with same duration 111LSA cam and originally set it up with 4* advance but after checking PTV backed the advance down to 2* to gain more clearance and keep it safe IIRC.


Maybe he will chime in here.....

EDIT: Here ya go
