Oh man have I learned alot about the LS motors this last week. I hope with a BIG sick ass cam this combo will put out mid to high 500's to the wheels.

As stated in the other post i'm not going forced induction on this setup ever but would like to add a little laughing gas in the future after this gets boring. :devil:

I hope to hell it sounds like this car....

Here's the details....


440cid LS7 with...

Callies Compstar 4.10" stroke crankshaft
Callies 6.125" Rods
Diamond Racing 4.125" flat-top pistons with -3.8cc valve reliefs
PRC ported LS7 cylinder heads
Stainless steel hollow-stem 2.20" intake valve
1.61" stainless steel exhaust valve
PRC dual valve spring kit
Haven't decided on a cam....
hardened pushrods
LS7 lifter kit

I think it's a great choice. Couldn't go wrong with the TFS topend either.

Naw, he repairs power poles....and he CAN'T WAIT for me to get the TA back on the streets so he can get some OT to pay for this. :D

Good choice Chad! Should be a killer setup. I sent you a PM with a few suggestions (most of which it appears you've made already).
