Hey everyone. I've been selling off the 1,000,000 and 1 extra parts I have laying around since I've come into new focus as to what I'm doing with my car. I've decided to get the cam I've wanted ever since I first bought my LS1: The HPE 'S' cam. So here's what my setup will be:
-SLP cai/air lid
-Ported TB
-LS6 intake
-REV dual springs
-HPE 'S' cam (238/242, .608"/.612", 116 LSA)
-Custom tune
-Pacesetter LT's/ORY
-Corsa catback w/ cutout
-Fuddle 3800/2.2STR stall
-TransGo shift kit
-3.73:1's

My car is mainly a street car but will be taken to the track at least 3x a year. I just want something that's very driveable (with tuning, that cam can be), and makes ignorant power with stock heads. I think this will be a devastating setup. Opinions please?

The only thing I really don't like is the Pacesetter headers. I've seen people go from Jet Hots to Pacesetters, and loose 15-20 hp. And I've seen people go from FLP's to Kooks and gain 20-25 hp. So imo, headers are key. I know they're expensive, but Kooks are definitely the way to go, and will make that setup run a lot better... Everything else looks good. Maybe consider a 78mm Fast instead of the LS6. That's a good 10-15 hp right there also.

Just order the big box of goodies from HPE...
Seeing the sig made me think of that...

I will get some nicer headers next year or the year after. I want to get it cammed and see how it feels first. The LS6 is already on the car, but a FAST may be a consideration for later, since I may not stay stock displacement.

so the kooks headers are better than jet hot headers?

Oh yes, quite a bit better actually.

I've only heard of a couple sets that were a little difficult to get in place... I'd love to have a set of Kooks on my car, the differences how they come off the flange compared to pace setters is alot nicer, and has a little more room so it seems...

Edit... chuck are mine on the way?

Excellent...glad to hear this would be a decent setup. Sometimes you can get blinded to how things really are by the excitement over a certain cam or new heads or whatever. I'm going to do this, and eventually get some better LT's and call it a day.
