How would you do it? 408 w/STS C5
How would you do it? 408 w/STS C5 Hey everyone, my 348 has found a new home and I now have a 408 Iron block being built for my C5. I would really apreciate any advice available to complete this build and safely reach my goals. Here is what I currently have:
408 Stroker Iron Block
Wiseco -20cc w/Hellfire Rings (9.3:1 w/317's)
C6Z06 Cam--??????
ARP Hardware
317 Heads w/PAC springs (.625)?
LS6 Intake Manifold
STS Kit w/GT32's
My goal is to safely put down 750rwhp, not trying to break any records or my wallet! I'd really like to make decent low end power as these rear mounts take a while to spool.
Is the C6Z06 cam too small for my goals? What are some better options?
Should I run a Meth Kit or E85?
Will my returns style (98) fuel sytem w/KB BAP support my power goals?
I currently have a centerforce dfx, what should I upgrade to?
I'll take advice and opinions, I just want to get it right this time and not do it again!

I would contact PatG about a custom cam. The LS7 cam is designed for a peaky 427ci engine. They aren't very good for boost. The LS6 cam works well with boost but a custom cam would work better.
Correct me if I am wrong but are these not the correct specs:
--C6Z06 specs. 1.8 rocker
211/230 .593/.588 120.5LSA -20.5deg OL 120 ICL
I am worried that the duration may be a lil low for a stroker but figured the neg overlap would be good for boost? Of course my lift would be a lil lower with ls1 rockers.
I've been looking into custom turbo cams and may just have to splurge on one, why cheap out now...................!
Yeah, guess I didn't consider the extra 30% more fuel I would need to run E85, I have a meth kit, just never ran it before and not sure all the parts are there.
I was under the impression the return style rails would support more power than returnless rails. What power level are the return style rails good to?
