By "stock LS1 manifolds" do you mean stock exhaust manifolds? If yes, I would stick with that cam. If you have headers you could go to a different cam.

It will be fine. It will drive as it does right now, but better, faster, more responsive.

Yes you can. I have stock exhaust manifolds, high flow cats, and a very similar cam with a set of Trick Flow 215s and a FAST 102 intake/90mm throttlebody. It has balanced torque and horsepower levels (407 rwhp/ 393 rwtq) and drives like stock except for more power.

Your setup with the 102mm TB may be a little harder to tune, but should work well.

I cannot guess what your horsepower or torque numbers might be. My results were in a 2005 CTS-V that has parasitic driveline loss of almost 20%, which is much higher than others. On the other hand, I suspect my heads are better.

I am still using my stock injectors which I believe are 26lb units since my tuner has not said anything about needing larger injectors. I assume, therefore that 30lb-injectors would be adequate.

I am not sure which head gasket to use with that head. You might check with Texas Speed since they sell that head as well as head gaskets.

don't reuse the old head gaskets.what valve springs do you have on your current heads?how many miles?I would get bigger injectors ,at least 36 lbs.get the thinner head gaskets if you have enough PTV clearence,and it won't screw up your valve train geometry .read up on lifter preload to figure out the correct length for push rods.or ask TSP which parts you need. .do you have stock rocker arms?get comp trunnion bearings for them.

I installed the 040 cometic head gasket 4 month ago for I think 2000KM .My new lS6 heads 64cc Chambers comes with Dual Valve Springs 650” as same as the valve Springs on my old setup from TSP onmy ls1 heads.

Yes I have stock rocker arms and I think I will use my old setup push rods 7.400” from trick flow.

so what do you think .
