Default Not sure...

Ok I'm wanting to build an lq9 with the lunati roller cam 262/268 dur. 531/531 lift and 113 lsa. I need help with heads and stall, and prolly need a new trans cuz all I have is stock 4l60e. I am probably gonna run a 85mm intake and tb. Will that will be sufficient size? And will I need different injectors? The intake comes with better fuel rails. Any help would be awesome the sooner I get a plan the sooner I can have a build thread and order parts thanks

Also wanna run a 120 shot
Also thought about stroker

Seems like you are all over the place with this build. H/C vs. H/C/Stroker vs. H/C/Stroker/N2O.

You need to decide which one of these routes you want to go before ordering parts, because some items will be better suited for one application vs. another (cam, for example).

I'm curious on what you based your cam selection around. That's a lot of duration and little lift. What's your goals with the car? Drag only, daily driver?

I think those are advertised duration specs rather than .050" duration.

if you're concerned about durability and are thinking of that small of a cam (212/218 .531/.531) why not just go for a stock LS1 with a warranty :p
