I recently planned a set up with the vrx5 cam and decided to change to a custom grind cam. I was hoping yall think i would run into any problems with this set up.

Stock bottom end ls1
Comp Cam- 230/230 .612 .592 111+2
TSP ported Ls6 oil pump
Comp 850-16 lifters
Comp Chromemoly 7.4" Pushrods
241 heads ported with stock valves and 220cc intake runner
TEA Dual .650 lift dual vavle springs
ls2 Timing Chain
LS6 Intake
FAST 36lb Injectors
YankSS3600 Stall
3.73 Gears
Texas Speed 1 7/8 Lontubes
Cutsom Y and Loud mouth with sweet thunder

Ill also be using all stock gaskets

 

Sounds like a good setup...should be good for high 11s

 

Thats a pretty good setup. I would use the ls7 lifters instead of the comps. IMO

 

Thanks. Im hopping for 11's

I planned on using the LS7 lifters orignally but i was suggested to use the comps cause they are quieter

 

i'm not 100% sure but i heard that tsp was having problems with fitment on their headers
anyway nice setup

 

I talked to john i believe it was at TSP and they siad the problems there are is with older motor mounts bein sluggish on the older cars. He said newer modles have chromemoly and dont have that problem

 

Been told to mill the heads a little to increase compression. Anyone have any suggestions on the milling? After talking to a few people we came up with the possibility of milling .015 and running a .040 gasket.

Any input?

 

mill .020 - .025 and use .040 gasket for around 11:1

 

I don't think you will SAFELY clear.

No mill, factory gasket 11+2 should put you .080ish on that cam I believe. That's as tight as would go.

 

Hmm..several people said i would be fine...Anyone else think i wont safely clear?

 

check PTV no matter what choice you make to do

 

with his 241 heads?

 

That was about as big as I could fit without recessing valve in my setup.

Also search Chrs1313. He is stock headed with same duration 111LSA cam and originally set it up with 4* advance but after checking PTV backed the advance down to 2* to gain more clearance and keep it safe IIRC.


Maybe he will chime in here.....

EDIT: Here ya go
