Depending on the mileage on the motor, might want to pick up a new oil pump while you're in there - either a ported LS6 or a melling. Also might want to pick up a front timing cover gasket.

Is that a 4000rpm stall? If so I would reccomend calling TCI to see what they say to match your cam and setup. I have a similar setup 224/228 .585/.585 114 with a loose Vigi 3800 and I want something smaller like 3200. People told me go no lower than 3600 but it makes for lower mpg and my converter isn't matched well for my cam. You'll get used to it but I would talk to the converter manufacturer and go with what they say not what others tell you.

Also you'll need hardened push rods and gaskets. Lifters depending on the mileage and age of your engine. My stock lifers started giving out and I bought the new Crane lifters that are like the Morel ones.

The engine is an 04 and has only 21,000 miles.

Are new pushrods really needed?

If you're going to be revving anywhere near 6k, I would say so.

Called TCI... good thing I did... only need 24/2500 to match cam. SO could I go with a 3000... closest vendor has?

New push rods added.
