hi i have strocker 408 im my chevy ingine with:
1.ls6 heads [b] PP 243 heads should do it{/b]
2.long headrs Which LTs ? these can make a big difference. and what is after the LTs ?
3.extream cam Specs please
4.bbk body thurtol dont know anything here
5.afe intake any CAI is as good as another as long as it is short
6.Gibson Super Truck Exhaust Systems this may be too restrictive - and why I asked above
7.LS6 intake manifold with a 408 this should be good, but Fast 90 or 92 would be better

This is what I would do ( so take with a grain of salt if need be)
Keep the 243 heads you have. ( for now at least ) Depending on valves and springs. I am a big fan of light wt valves and Ti retainers and appropriate springs for .600 or ..650 lift
Fast 92 intake with a NW or Fast 92 TB
Different cam the MS3 may be OK or an LGX3 cam
LG Pro Long tubes, off road X-pipe if it will fit, and the least restrictive muffler you can find. May be a Borla Stinger. If you need a high flow cats for emissions put them on
any CAI will work as long as it is single intake and short. The longer the CAI the longer the Cold air has to travel and this cuts down Low end torque significantly.
Good Luck
thanks for your replay and help
my compression now is 12:1 with the new heads i think it will be around 11:3 ,
about the intake should i go with 92 fast or Weiand Street Warrior and what tb should i have on the Warrior , Borla Stinger i think a good choice ,looking to have cut out also what you think ? with this setup 200+ shot of nitro will be ok ?
btw all this setup on z71 truck auto transmission
thanks agine

fast 92 intake. Not sure how well the Weiands are working, if at all.
Ok N2 may be different then. and the larger combustion chamber may what you need. There are many N2 guys here to help
if your going N2 then a smaller cam might be what your looking for
