Need some input ms3/ls6 heads build
So I have an ms3 cam on a 112 lsa. I also have a set of ls6 243s. With the stock valves. (hollow/sodium variety) Now my question is, if I don't mill these heads i shouldn't have a PTV issue correct?
Also on the lifters/pushrods, I bought the ls7 lifters and from what i have read 7.35 is the way to go. Does that sound right? Of course I will still check via pushrod checker, but otherwise am i in the clear and no special variations to my set up needed?
I have the complete GM head/cam swap gasket kit with bolts. So they are the stock MLS gaskets if that info is needed. I would like to port the heads, but the budget may not allow it (damn weddings lol) but at the very least I may get a valve job here locally from a respected Machinists shop. The goal for this year is the ms3/ls6 heads and 100 shot of Nitrous. BTW all supporting mods i.e. fuel have been accounted for too

I am an m6, so no converter. I have my ls6 intake, although a fast 90 would be better, I just can't see myself spending a grand or close to that on one. The gears I chose were a trade off since I lost a little bit of my soul with the full spool. Car isn't a daily by any means. I know the ms3 is a max effort cam, so that is why I have gone back and forth on this as well. I have even thought of going with tr230 or the tsp 233/239.
I was thinking of going with a nitrous cam but don't know if I'll always be spraying.

Are you porting the 243s?

I see with getting every bit of hp as possible. Probably won't get them ported, budget constraints. The thing is where I am at the DA is consistently @ 7k in the summer. Lower than that and its a good day. So breathing for my car is already limited lol
