finally got it put together.

stock 98 short block with 241 heads, ASA camshaft, LS7 lifters, N-motion timing set, yank SS3600 stall, 3.73's , full BMR rear suspension , pace setter longtubes and ORY, TSP rumbler cat back.

it obviously needs a tune, but this is the second time firing it up. have to button a few things up to make it drivable. hopefully ill get it tuned soon and make a few passes in with and see how it goes.

yeah its the stock tune, but dont be fooled. it does not want to idle with it like that. it took me a while to get the idle to settle down. it needs a tune BAD!. no cats, pace setter long tubes and off road y-pipe.

thanks bro.

well its all buttoned up and i put 20 miles on it today. the stock tune doesnt like rpm's under 2000. it bucks and surges a little bit, but i expected that. on the highway it runs flawless and pulls like an animal. im takin it easy til i get it tuned. but it sounds great pulls good ( for the couple times i nailed it.) the YANK SS3600 helps a lot. i dropped the tha hammer from a 5-10 mph roll a couple times and it just spun the tires thru 3 gears til i let off. the torque is definately there.

Sounds good. One of the best sounding cams for an LS1 in my opinion.

I have always wondered what kind of risk is involved in starting a car up on jack stands.

SMALLBLOCKHERO

iTrader: (2)

none as long you do it right and have a good set of stands. the car doesnt move at all. take your time , make sure the weight of the car is spread evenly on the stands and the stands are under a heavy part of the frame rails.

Really? I'm looking to do an ASA in my Silverado, also. I am building a 6.0L for it as we speak...

To the OP, that was the inspiration that I needed...looks like 11:1 compression, 243 heads and the ASA cam...lol...

oh you know it bro. vid will be up as soon as its tuned, plus a couple smokey street launch vids too.

everyone says go custom for the same money and i wont disagree, but i knew what i wanted, and knew it was a reliable setup for durability

its all about reliabilty and power, its a proven set up. ls6 yellow springs and stock everything else. make tons of torque and no worries about valvetrain breaking.

The ASA is a great cam. Has a beautiful TQ curve and kicks even more *** on nitrous. You can also run a ton of compression, and cheap/reliable LS6 springs.

That cam also works great with 243 heads.

ive heard this about the nitrous. one of the moderators here (iforget who) said the ASA loves the juice. ill have to find this out.

open header video...first start up. forgot to post this earlier.

I haven't heard of this cam before. Sounds REALLY good

That's why I was thinking about running that cam in my set-up. It's made by GM, proven and easy on valve train parts, not to mention, it has a naaaaaasty-*** idle! I just wonder if it will pass the sniffer test, as I am in California and have to smog my vehicle every other year...
