build plans im going to start with my h/c/i build and want to see what you guys think.
heres the list so far
el torro big bro cam 236/236 .615/.602 111 lsa
prc 2.5 5.3 or 2.5 ls6 heads. which will be better will that cam fit the 5.3's without fly cutting?
spec stage 3+ clutch and lightweight flywheel
street warrior intake and 90 mm throttle body. if it ever comes out i dnt rly want to spend all that money on the fast i know its proven but if this dosent come out il have to save up for the fast.
c5r chain
ported ls6 oil pump
42# injectors
ls7 lifters
hardend pushrods. anybody know the size for this cam?
prc .660 springs
all gaskets required to do the build and do i need any arp bolts or are the stock ones fine?
am i forgetting anything? does this seem to be a good setup? i dont think anybody has this cam but im willing to try it out it should make big numbers since el torro is makin good numbers and great times. after this im going to start saving for 9 inch with 3.73s or 4.10s and some suspension. i really would like to keep up with some vettes on the street thats why i was thinking 3.73s idk if i would loose alot up top with the 410s.what do you guys think?

sounds good i'd go 410's as well since your a m6 read im sig and i'd go with the 5.3's if your wanting to keep up with the vettes on the street it will help alot on the low end to keep you going and really like the cam i want it as well but haven't seen and numbers or anything with those heads so im going to hold of let us know how it goes and if your wanting the warrior intake you may wanna explore other opionins like the tpis intake not as expensive as the fast ls6 plus 350 but again nobody really has it as well

will i lose alot up top with the 4.10s bc i know that vettes pull hard at 100+ and just keep on goin and thats what i basically want to do. theres one specific vette i want to beat or keep up with that lives near me he is a ls2 m6with full exhaust,cai, underdrive pulley, 4.10s and a mti g1 cam. could i keep up with or beat him with this setup?

so that cam wont fit the 5.3s? also i want to save money so i dont want to have my tuner install it. i know that tons of people on here do cam, heads and intake installs themselves so i dont think it should be very difficult but what about the clutch is that possible to install?

If you can't do a clutch, do some serious research and get a skilled buddy to help you w/ H/C/I setup.... Clutches ain't too difficult. I'm sure there's a write up somewhere on here...

alright thanks and does anybody know the pushrod length for this cam? if not il just buy a pushrod length checker. also how much up top would i be loosing with 4.10s? can i mill the ls6 heads if the 5.3s dont fit so i raise the compression and have good bottom end just as good as top end?
