LS1 w/ TSP MS3 cam Currently runnin an LS6 intake with the Texas Speed MS3 cam and spring package...Already have Walbro 255 and 42lb injectors w/ ported LS6 oil pump...Stock MAF/TB and Stock heads...The car runs great now on my NA pass...I was wondering if i went ahead with the FAST 102mm intake and Big Mouth 102mm TB...With the trick flow 225cc heads...Will the new intake and tb make a big difference for my car??? since its an LS1 block with a big cam will it still put down large numbers with the FAST 102/102 combo??

Are you asking if you should do heads or a FAST intake and TB combo? Heads will definitely pick up more power if so. Also, if you are looking at aftermarket casting heads, take a look at the PRC 215cc heads as well. They are an awesome head and right now we have a sale on them which gives you $200 off! Let me know exactly what you are wanting to do and we'll get you fixed up!

I want to get the most HP from my motor....I know the MS3 cam is big for a stock LS1 so i want a set of heads and a intake and TB combo that will maximize the cam performance...I figured since the cam was big i should get a big intake and TB and a set of heads that put out good flow numbers as well..What about the PRC stage 2.5 head??? or whats the best combo to run with that MS3 Cam??

You could stay with the LS6 intake and get just the AFR 210cc heads which put out crazy cfm or TFS heads which are also good and pick up about 50rwhp with good bolt-ons. A FAST 102mm would be too big for a 346ci engine since it's really for strokers or 402-427s. You could do a 90mm ported Fast but it will only show minimal gains for $1000. 5-10 rwhp. The stock MAF isn't really a limiting factor till you're 500rwhp, I would keep the stocker for tuning purposes.

LOL yea good point...at the time i was low on my budget and jus went ahead and done all i could...but yea i hear alot about the TFS heads and the PRC heads from TSP...I looked at those AFR 205cc Mongoose heads and they seem to be impressive with a decent cam...

I am headed down the same route....CAM first!!
What gears are you running and how is the car for power around 2000rpm to 3000 rpm?
Thanks

Im currently runnin 3:73 gears but im goin with 4:10s when i install the 9" rear end...the cars power is ok from 2-3k rpms...its a lil more pull than stock but the MS3 cam is a big cam so it really dnt pick up major power until around 3700 rpms..Its not weak by no means but the cam really comes alive around that area...also it would depend on your tune on your motor too...

Would the UD pulley still work well with N20??? I plan on jumping to a 200shot soon..But i want to get my heads/ TB/ and new MAF first...Should i really consider the UD? If so what size and brand is good?

Skip the heads for now. I had a MS3 in my old 346 with stock 241 heads and a Fast 90/90. Went 7.26@94 mph in the 1/8th in a 3600# Camaro. Sprayed it with a 200hp shot and went 6.64@105. I think 225cc heads would be too big for the stock cubes and the MS3. It would be a dog out of the hole. A 205-215 cc runner head would be a better choice with a Fast 92/92.
