LQ9 build questions I have a 2005 LQ9 with 4L65e from a escalade with what I was told only had 58K on it. Im building a 71 C10. Before I install it I wanted to upgrade the cam so I gave texas speed a call. So I have a 228R cam single beehive springs, texas speed push rods and the Yank truck 3000 converter. It was suggested that I go with 243 heads so I got a nice used set. This i was told should get me around 11:1 and be streetable. I have also bought a set of ARP head bolts, ARP cam bolts, ARP balancer bolt, high volume oil pump and a new set of ls7 lifters. Im not building a race car. I just wanted to beef it up a little while I had it out. My questions are with me going to 11:1 will the stock starter be enough or should i upgrade. If so which one? and is there any other weak points for my build or thing else that would help me out?
Thanks in advance
