Default checked it ptvc with tr 224/afr59cc

even though no one wants to post it i will. maybe in a search this will help somebody someday.

afr 205's milled to 59cc gm mls gaskets with a tr224 cam

with comp 1.75 pro mags

stock ls1 lower end

intake .100

exh .145


and that is it. besides i am done buying used stuff. my car is done besides the intake. bought it off this site. told the guy i would pay for 2nd or next day if he could not get it out.

guess what no reply, no intake.

my car is sitting with $2700 heads on it.new cam and no intake.

all due to trusting another car guy.

Yeah there is always a risk in buying used parts. Like you said, sometimes it works out great and you save money, sometimes you get screwed. Make sure and post up some numbers when you get everything together. Sounds like a nice streetable setup that will make great power. Good luck!

Thnks for posting your PTVC. You could have easily ran a thin head gasket to tighten that quench area up. What exactly is the thickness of your gasket?

True that yo.

I purchased a "new" LS6 clutch/Flywheel of our for sale section. It came damaged. No response after receiving with no care whatsoever to the packaging of the clutch plate.
