Lifters Click here ----------------------> http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...12499225-Bulk/
Pushrods --------------------------------->http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...oducts_id=5182
Trunion upgrade for rockers --------->http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...oducts_id=7393
Valve springs----------------------------->http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...oducts_id=8582
Timing chain ----------------------------->http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...-timing-chain/
Cam retainer----------------------------->http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...oducts_id=9049

But if the engine doesnt have alot of sludge or a TON of miles I wouldnt worry with lifters unless your pulling the heads off anyways.

if you do lifters you will also need

Head gaskets------> http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...oducts_id=6909
Head bolts X2----->http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...g/GM-17800568/
but make sure you have the 04+ headbolts before you order, the lengths are different on 99-03 and ive had a 04 gen 4 with 03 length bolts before

Stock pushrod length is 7.4 witch is what I put a link to, but of course its always good to check and make sure thats the length you still need after a cam swap

No problem
another thing, since your LS friend is into boost, you might even add up the cost of all this cam stuff VS what he can do a cheaper turbo setup for?
your still gonna have to do fuel system either way you go.
You could probably still run your 3200 stall with the stock cam with a turbo ??

As I said back in post #8, that little lightweight truck could run 12’s in reverse. You don’t need a lot of power to get down the track in that vehicle. 450ish and you’ll be scary fast. I’d be investing in traction, brakes, and safety equipment.
Take Colorado’s advice on the setup. Not gonna take much camshaft to put a huge smile on your face in a properly setup S10, unless your Larry Larson and you haven’t disclosed that info to us.
