Couple of my buddies with LS1's and LS2's in Nissan chassis who drift religiously use a dual pass radiator such as AFCO, Mishimoto, or Griffin, add a low temp thermostat, a good oil cooler, good fans, and some body ducting (to channel air over the radiator portion). These guys will drive an hour or so to the track, beat their cars silly, drive home an hour and never have an issue relating to cooling. A few have added water/meth spray just to increase their cooling capabilities but most havent and havent had any issues thus far.
As far as the heads, I am too much of a noob to offer any advice.

If Tooley recommends it, I'd listen.
My friend just had Tooley recommend an almost identical cam to use with a set of TFS as cast 220's, w/ powdered metal guides and turned down LS3 valves. Great setup!

Dear friends.
I gathered all the parts from tooley. Great guy!
-220 as cast (59cc)
-fast102 intake manifold
- 231/240cam
etc etc
Now the problem. My engine builder rejected my ls6 engine. The engine suffered from overheating and bad quality control from gm and who knows what. There were chips from the pistons missing and from the right bank the hone grooves are gone. The crate engine was also bored out of the center so there is no more space to rehone it :-(
What would be a good plan now. Can i use the stuff i bought on a new ls2 stroker shortblock? or a better plan?
thanks

I'd say, your best move is a new block. Your top end setup will be legit on any LS1/2/6 you out it on!
