Talking Getting ready to install my heads :) ...

We'll finally getting time to do my own vehicle and have the fiollowing to install:

Absolute Speed Stage II heads, arp head bolts, ls6 pcv conversion, high flo fuel rails, svo injectors 30 lbs, harlem 2 step, Jay fisher wire relocation kit, then maybe some Yella terrs rockers 1.7.. Missing anything ???? Oh ya I have MLS head gaskets and Fel=pro's not sure which one's to go with.. Then to pick someone to dyno-tune it.... Thinking about a cam change as well to something bigger but my heads are shaved .030 so I may stick with what I have for now.. 224-228/ 563-569 / 112 Tell me what you think!!! Oh ya I also run a 100 shot of TNT as well


Thanks

Leave the injectors off until your in a position to tune the car when you replace them. The reason I say that is to avoid fuel washing the cylinders from an over rich condition which will trash the rings in short order.

Also I wouldnt use Yella Terras until the high rpm issues people are seeing are worked out.

Cheers,
Chris

Thanks for the input: here are the flow #'s for my heads;

Lift Intake Exhaust
200 153 123
300 207 182
400 261 218
450 278 227
500 290 233
550 298 236
566 303 239

When I placed my order with him he did these heads around my cam. I'll probably go with the fel pro headgaskets and hold off on the rockers. I'll have the injectors ready and r@r them at the tune and dyno shop. Hoping for 430 at the rear wheels .
I need to also update my sig..

Thanks Wayne

They are the LS1 version head shaved .030 to bring my compression to 10.8. As for the BG ram air every option for getting air directly into the itake is a good one. I like the fit of the BG kit. If I had to do it again I would stick with it... Good mod for us WS6 guys and gals.
