For your mods, the LS6 would help. The other options would only be a waste of money with no real gains.

If you are planning on heads along with your cam - then the FAST/LS2 TB combo is the way to go

If you are going cam only - then just purchase a used LS6 intake, keep the BBK TB, or sell the BBK and port your stock TB. If you purhcase an LS6 intake you will also need the coolant line and the two block off plates to make the LS1 to LS6 intake conversion complete -- these can be purchased from Scoggin-Dickey (SDPC) or Thunder Racing. Just call them and tell them what you are doing and they will know what you need.

Also for furture reference I suggest an U/D pulley, an uprgraded LS6 oil pump, and a new dual roller timing chain, when you get ready to do the cam installation.

Hope this Helps! Good Luck!

Ok so i think i'll just do U/D pulley, a ported LS6 oil pump, and a new dual roller timing chain, hardened push rods, lighter roller rockers, with ls6 intake, and maybe port/polish t/b.....what kind of power do you guys think i'll be making? I'd like to hit at least 400hp to the tires w/o nos then maybe 500hp with nos

Is your '97 a 6-spd or Auto?

I doubt you will hit 400 with a 224/224 cam only, most likely 380-390rwhp...

The LS6 intake is what I would recommend also. Bob

I think the roller rockers are a waste of money from the cost/gain perspective.
