Stg 1.5 heads from Texas speed and their cam that i do not know the name of but its specs 595 lift both sides and the duration is i think 232 intake234 exhaust im not 100% sure on that but i have the info at home, and its on a 114 LSA. Nothing too radical but giving decent power combined with my other mods and the right tune.

I was planning on selling them along with the old cam and see what i could get PM me if your interested we will see what we can work out. By the way are you any good with LS1 Edit? <---Im tryin ta figure it out right now

Lift: 595
Duration: 224/228
LSA: 114

Are any of yall good with Ls1 Edit? Thats the program i have till i get EFI Live and i need to tune it so i can at least drive it when i do the swap. Its gonna be a little longer than i thought to actually do the swap cause i forgot to get the pushrods and that would be a bad mistake.

Anyone know the right length and size to get with that cam?

FWIW I ran 7.4's on my G5X3 with stock heads

Sorry bud that was all greek to me except for the 7.4 i take it that is the length? what is FWIW and what is G5X3? i appreciate the response though. I figure that was with an aftermarket cam, also what would a good set of rods for my application run?

The Pushrods are super easy to change. With yout setup go with 7.4 unless you milled the heads. Let me know when you thinking of doing it

Ill install your cam and heads for 350. I have a lift and a nice shop

I would double check with Texas Speed but you may end up need 7.425" long pushrods. Normally aftermarket cams have a smaller base circle and the need for a slightly longer pushrod.

I have access to a shop with lift and tools needed, im gonna need the 350 for pushrod costs lol. Plus your up in phoenix and i cant get my car there right now. Thanks for the offer though bud thats not a bad price.

Ill give Texas-Speed a holler today if i remember and see what they recomend for that cam and ask what the cost will be. Or i might just give Lopers Performance a holler and drive the truck up there to get em(if the cost is right).

Im not sure if these heads have been milled or not but i doubt it cause i bought them fuly machined im not sure. How can you tell if there milled or is that something you do seperatly or pay extra for?

Go with TSP, Lopers sucks ***, they are hardcore oldschool and have to order everything that you ask for. Texas speed will have your pushrods to your door in 2 days. A machine shop could tell you if they have been milled, but just call whoever you bought them from.

Good luck with the swap post up results

Thanks bud i will definatly keep everyone posted on the progress. I figured id go with TSP cause thats who i bought the cam from so they will know better which rods to go with and my gaskets were delivered in a great time so yeah they get my vote.

Plus im a Texan myself lol.
