Default New Texas Speed 228 is In!
My new TSP 228R @ 112 is in. I used the 5/16" rods to help hold up the lifters. No problems pulling the old one out or sliding in the 228.

What is all that crap sitting on your oil pump and crank? Gasket material or what? Pull that timiing cover gasket off too and get a new one.

I've been eyeing this cam, follow up with some idle and full throttle videos and let us know about the butt dump results or et change

I got the new valve springs on one side today. Tomorrow I will finish the springs and install the LS2 timing chain and Ported LS6 pump.
