Default reconsidering doing the Trunion upgrade.

i'm doing some last minute purchases for my build and i'm reconsidering doing the triunion upgrade, i'm doing a H/C/I install. I'm installing 223/227.610/.614 112 LSA cam, ported polished 243 heads, ls6 intake and just wondering if I should, could you send me a link to what I would need, not real fimilar with the triunion upgrade. I have everything else, ls7 lifters, ls2 timing chain, ls6 ported oilpump, and waiting from the guy whos building it to see what size pushrods then i'll be getting the comp cam pushrods.

Anyways since i'm using the rockers from the 243 heads will this kit work ?

You have the link just buy the kit install tool included.
It will work fine with your rockers. Search you can find a lot of threads on the upgrade.

Ok good just didn't know if it would fit since it only said ls1 and the 243 heads are ls2. Thanks.

Yeah, a little research does go a long way. The 243 head on the "Z06" option was the LS6 engine exclusively used in the Corvette between 2001-2004. Then GM used the 243 head on LS2 and others, but without the hollow intake valves and sodium filled exhaust valves. Same casting, though.
