looking for the best cam!!!!!!
go to Taxes Speed Performance webstore .they offered some CNC #241 heads with any TSP cam for $1100.check out their cam kits.$590 for cam/springs/push rods.if you can not find a used LS6 intake SDPC sells them for $490 new.
I hope you aren't set on a gear drive. A quick search shows that noise is a real issue, unless you plan on running a carb and distributor, the knock sensors would not agree with your plans:
Gear drive for LS1?
gear drive?
Gear Drive?????
But if you just have to have one...
Anyone using a gear drive instead of a timing chain?
Lastly, wait to select your springs and pushrods until after you have the heads cleaned (resurfaced?), have choosen your head gaskets and have your cam. All of these factors effect the proper length on the pushrods. Since LS engines do not have adjustable valvetrain, the pushrod length is critical to the proper lifter preload.
