Texas Speed
cnc-ed LS6's & choice of camshaft... call them & speak about what your looking for & go from there

rod bolts not necc unless you plan on spinning above 6500 rpm

also OE head gaskets & bolts unless you plan on changing again sometime soon

Depending on your goals and what the intended use of the car. Mine is...

400+ rwhp w/ 6 speed, 12 bolt, 3" steel DS
Not Daily driven, nice days and weekends, occasional track use.

Mods to attain the goal.

SLP cold air kit
Dynatech LT's with out cats
Corsa Cat back
Thunder racing, 230/236 cam @ 112 LSA
Dyno tune
I may do a UD pulley at the same time as the cam since its not doing a job x2

Ive seen it done so thats why I picked these mods.

Look at the Sponsors Sale Section and Group Purchase Section. You should be able to find some great prices there. Also keep reading in the Internal Engine section. Gather as much info as you can, and learn as much as you can. Plan 2 or 3 times....go over all options and scenarios. Get a firm grasp on what you want the car to do, and what direction you want to go in.........and mod 1 time.
