Rate my build and a few Q's
 
Hey guys I would like to give you all an opportunity to look at my build so far and maybe let me ask a couple questions. Here is my build so far:

LS6 short block with stock internals
FMS F13-112 Cam
AI 226 Heads
Improved racing F-Body Oil pan and baffel
Melling HV oil pump.
Kooks 1-1/75 Headers
Kooks True Dual (ordered)

All this running through a T-56 and S-60(3.73gears)

The questions I have is should I go ahead and get a Fast 90mm or go with a 102mm? I already have a TPIS 90mm Throttle body and I hear the 102 is a PITA to tune. Although I am not a HP whore I have heard the 102 may give you an extra 10-12 HP.

Second, the water pump I am looking at either the Eldebrock or Evans WP I'm still on the rope as to which one to get. I would love to get an Electrical one but not too sure I am interested in paying a house payment for a pump.

Third, when it comes to rockers, I was leaning towards the Yellow Tera's but all the bad press recently has me thinking I may either go with the Comp Mag's or even stock with the Tunion upgrade, thoughts?

Thanks for any input.

Nobody has any thoughts?

Also it seems lifters will be an issue as well, I am not sure I like the typewriter noise LS7 lifters make.

Are you going with the high lift F13? The trunion upgrade is perfectly fine

Ponch95 Mar 23, 2012 11:29 AM

No I didn't get the the high lift cam, I got the 230"/232" .595"/.585" 112LSA cam. I was trying to keep my lift under .600.

Trunion upgrade and ls7 lifters should work perfectly on your setup
