~3000lb Gbody + LQ9 + CAM/Trickflows= 10.5x???ET I'm currently working on a Carbed LQ9 (Flat Top Piston 6.0L). Will be running a 850cfm Holley Carb, 9" with 4.56 gears, Powerglide Trans, Currently 4200 stall on the 406sbc
Mods So FAR:
Trickflow 220 "AS CAST" 2.04/1.575 .660 dual spring(406lbs open pressure) 64cc heads (LS1)
Edelbrock 1.75" Stepped to 1.875" LT's with 3.5" collector (Ceramic Coated)
ASP 25% Underdrive pulley
SLP Heavy duty Oil pump (Staying with blue spring)
CTS-V oil pan
ARP Rod bolts
ARP Head Bolts
LS2 Timing Chain
Holley 850cfm Carb
EWP
Vic Jr
MSD 6010 programmable box
240/244 .612 .596 109LSA
LS7 Lifters
Stock GM MLS 6.0 HeadGaskets
Trickflow 7.500 Pushrods
The car is a 82' Regal and current race weight on the car with no driver is 2980lbs with 6 gals of fuel. I'm hoping to push the car to around a 10.60-10.10 in a 2500 DA. It does 60' fairly well with a best of a 1.36 and averages a 1.55-1.40. I will probly need a different Converter (around a 8" 4700-5200rpm Flash when on the TransBrake)
Just wondering if this sounds like it will get the job done N/A or does anyone have any better suggestions on my parts list. (Keep in mind this is a budget build junk yard pulled LQ9)?? Any suggestions on the intake, cam, heads selection is always food for thought here!!
Trying to avoid flycutting.

figured I'd post a pic of the car.
If you could see the car in person you would know how it got that name!! It has some BIG Hail DENTS!
I have been doing some searching and I might try the PRC 5.3 2.5 heads with a little thicker gasket (.060) and try a custom polluter on a 111LSA or even a EPS Custom Cam.

The trans/rear end will stay the same but will be putting in the LQ9 6.0L.
Ive got some edelbrock 1.75 stepped 1.875" LT's with 3.5" collectors ceramic coated, ASP 25% underdrive pulley, Electric water pump, ARP head bolts, ARP Rod bolts.
Still need heads, pushrods, cam, Oil pump, Intake, LS7 Lifters, MSD controller, and Gaskets
Been thinking of ordering a
235/242 .646 .612 111LSA and some CNC 243's or PRC 5.3 as well.

the 235/242 cam should fit without flycutting on a GM .051 gasket and still be around .050 PTV clearance. Compression would be around 11:1 SCR.

Had a custom Cam spec'd 2day.
24x/25x 595 612 109LSA. Was told from Mike @ TEA that it should give about .060 PTV clearance on a stock GM Gasket.
Mike was VERY helpful and gave me some insight on the best way to set these heads up on stock rockers
I also asked Geoff @ EPS and am awaiting his reply!

Results from yesterday with a 5550+ft DA, and some pictures of the swap. Will be looking for a 5000-5500rpm Converter and a CNC 4 hole 1" Spacer.
