I'm new to ls motors and looking for some insight. Plans are for 408 lq4 build for my mostly street stock suspension 3,200lb Vega, th-400, around 4k stall, 12 posi, gears will be changed to suit this build.

06 lq4 block
callies compstar 4.0 crank
callies compstar 6.125 rods
diamond -2 cc flat tops
trick flow 225 cnc heads
edelbrock victor jr efi intake

I will be getting a cam spec'd for this motor, suggestions?

What lifters and rockers?

What size headers? I have a 3" x pipe, bullets, and 3" tailpipes.

What other things do I need to consider? Trying to maximize what I have with out going broke doing it twice.

Thanks in advance....

Good bottom end parts, have diamond coat the skirts.

For the cam you need to specify the intended use of the motor, drag race only?

I've been happy with the comp short travel link bar lifters, same goes for the good billet body Morels.

1 7/8" headers

Since your running the victor Jr. I suggest a 4150 tb and not an elbow as the elbow will starve the forward cylinders and choke flow considerably.

Car will be mostly street driven, never seem to have time to get to the track much anymore. I plan on doing drag week and power tour. I'm looking to make as much power as i can with a nice broad flat torque curve.

I was planning on a 4150 style tb, forgot to mention that.
