here is my set up. I drive the car maybe 1-2 times in the week and some on the weekend and hit the track once a month.

89 notch mustang
98 ls1
cleaned up 241 heads w/ ls6 springs
1 3/4 long tubes
4" intake and k&n filter
ls6 intake this weekend [ ls1 intake now]
3:55 gears
th400 trans with 4000 stall
28.8 injectors
3100 race wt with full tank of gas
12.07@113 w 1.74 60'

Is there a cam i can use with my setup now that would be a big gain or maybe just swap to a ms3 or something. Like to have something that might help my 60' . If i need injectors and springs with the new cam let me know please

Have the heads been milled? Do you want to keep the LS6 springs, or are you willing to upgrade?

stock heads, if i can get a good power gain with the ls6 then fine but i will up grade if it would be better

if its a 98 bottom end i would suggest not to spin it to high i think they will stretch the rod bolts after 6200 i think ?

really, did the 98 engines come with bad rod bolts. I have arp bolts that i could throw in one day if really needed. I run it to 6000 now but i didnt know about the bolts

yeah pretty sure the rod bolts are bad to streach over a certain rpm i think ? I know something in the bottom end of the 98s are very prone to go bad. do a quick search

yeah the rod bolts will stretch causing bearing failure

ok is there a cam i can run with the ls6 springs and under 6000 rpm thats worth the swap over a stock 98 cam

maybe ill build my 99 block since it has all arp stuff and go with abig cam in that engine

ls6 cam.better springs don't cost much more to allow for the best cam.

Now iam not sure what to do if i need to do rod bolts before i do any cam worth doing.

I'm gonna pm you regarding a cam I have laying around.

thanks for the offer bud.

I guess i can do a cam and try to keep set the limit around 6000 till i get the bolts in the bottom end.

what do you think about the ms3, and say the PAC springs that are good to 650 lift?

Maybe what i'll do is sell my arp rod bolts and arp mains and get the Kartech bolts so i feel better about it.
