Default Rate my build and a few Q's

Hey guys I would like to give you all an opportunity to look at my build so far and maybe let me ask a couple questions. Here is my build so far:

LS6 short block with stock internals
FMS F13-112 Cam
AI 226 Heads
Improved racing F-Body Oil pan and baffel
Melling HV oil pump.
Kooks 1-1/75 Headers
Kooks True Dual (ordered)

All this running through a T-56 and S-60(3.73gears)

The questions I have is should I go ahead and get a Fast 90mm or go with a 102mm? I already have a TPIS 90mm Throttle body and I hear the 102 is a PITA to tune. Although I am not a HP ***** I have heard the 102 may give you an extra 10-12 HP.

Second, the water pump I am looking at either the Eldebrock or Evans WP I'm still on the rope as to which one to get. I would love to get an Electrical one but not too sure I am interested in paying a house payment for a pump.

Third, when it comes to rockers, I was leaning towards the Yellow Tera's but all the bad press recently has me thinking I may either go with the Comp Mag's or even stock with the Tunion upgrade, thoughts?

Thanks for any input.

Also it seems lifters will be an issue as well, I am not sure I like the typewriter noise LS7 lifters make.

Are you going with the high lift F13? The trunion upgrade is perfectly fine

No I didn't get the the high lift cam, I got the 230"/232" .595"/.585" 112LSA cam. I was trying to keep my lift under .600.

Trunion upgrade and ls7 lifters should work perfectly on your setup
