I am putting together a forged LS6. Here is what I have thus far taking up space:

Bottom End:
LS6 block diamond honed and complete deburr
Stock Micropolished Crankshaft
Eagle 6.125 H-beam rods with L19 rod bolts
Je forged flat-top piston w/ valve reliefs
All new h bearings rods/main
moly file fit ring set


Top End:
MTI stage 2e heads, milled .030
Comp Cams 850-16 Lifters
Low mileage used LS1 rockers plan on getting them rebuilt. Are there any differences to the LS6 rockers?
LS6 Intake
232/238 110 LSA 575/.575 Lift Joe O Cam
Patriot Gold Dual Springs with Titanium Retainers

Questions
- I need to pick out injectors, I am leaning towards going with 42 lb/hr as I might go FI with the motor in the future.
- Need advice on pushrods.
- Are any of the LS1/LS6 year fuel rails better or different?
- Are any of the LS1/LS6 year rockers better?

All of this is going into a 99 Vette.

Anything else you can think of feel free to chime in!

That cam is no good for FI, rest of setup is nice, that is a Sig Erson cam, isn't it? Nice cam for NA
42 lbs are nice, I lean toward the Lucas or SVO's (SVO are more like 50s on our psi rating)

I also vote for 42#. Im running then and they're pretty easy to tune Fuel rails are the same IIRC. Nasty Nate has a set of rebuilt stock rockers that dont have the needle bearings or it uses cclips to hold them...dont remember exactly, but either way, you wont lose needle bearings with his rockers.

Yes it is, and I realize that this cam is not good for FI. I would not be going FI for awhile and in that event I would switch out camshafts. I just want to have beefy injectors so I am not buying parts twice down the road.

but you're doing that with the cam

Yes I am aware. As I stated since the bottom end is forged I could possibly go the route of FI in the future so I will try to only purchase injectors once. I am in no way goign to run a blower cam in that motor for the hopes of going FI in years to come when I have the funds. The difference is the extra injector being there is in no way goign to hurt my project as of now, riding around with a blower cam will not let me accomplish what i want as of now.

Lets move past that to the actual questions that I need help on:

Questions
- I need to pick out injectors, I am leaning towards going with 42 lb/hr as I might go FI with the motor in the future.
- Need advice on pushrods.
- Are any of the LS1/LS6 year fuel rails better or different?
- Are any of the LS1/LS6 year rockers better?

The first question seems to have been answered so could use answers to the rest.

>42 will be nice
>7.40 should fit with stock .054 gasket
>No
>No, but you can get the stockers rebuilt with Harland Sharp kit with C-clips (no more spilt bearings)

Also you'll have to measure your PTV, I'm almost 100% sure that you'll have to flycut with MTI 2E's
