New toy.. what to do???
Well I recentley picked up a 2001 Camaro SS SLP #3773. I am looking at an agressive low budget build. Agressive cam, low cost heads possibly and whatever supporting mods. I have a set of 1.7 harland sharp rockers and a set of trick flow 7.70 0.080 push rods if these will work. I also have a set of scorpion rockers. I am planning on a LS2, LS3 or LS7 swap in a year or 2. Here is a list of the current mods. The car has 74,000 miles.
Mods
Engine
-SLP lid, smooth bellows, K&N filter
-Jet Hot longtube headers
-Custom y-pipe
-Texas Speed cat-back with Magnaflow tips
-Taylor 10.4mm wires, NGK TR-6
-Royal Purple 5w-30, GM PF46 filter since I have owned the car
-BMR Shock Tower Brace
Transmission
-LS7 clutch/flywheel setup (@60k mles)
-GM master cylinder/slave cylinder combo (@60k miles)
-T56 rebuilt with billet keys, steel shift fork, bronze pads, new 1-2 slider, carbon blocker rings (@60k miles) Built by Jonathan at Tick Performance
-Poly torque arm mount
-Poly transmission mount
-Stock Hurst shifter with Lou's short stick
I usually dont look for low budget builds but I have bigger plans in the future and will sell this setup.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or if you got something to sell.

I have thought about going that route, the car is real clean and I would like to get a good year out of the motor. I would also like to get BMRs A-arm and K-member. I think if there is a bang for the buck it is losing that 100lbs from the nose. I just love the sound of a choppy cam LOL.

I will probably spray the car, I will get some pics up as soon as the weather gets better. I believe the guy I got the car from is a member of this board.
What is the most aggresive cam I could go with the stock heads? If it is not smart to go with a large cam andatock heads than I will purchase some. I went from ported ls6 heads to ported trick flow 225s on a ls2 and didn't gain any power. I ran the same et with both, I know it sounds strange!
