does that mean its a discount??!

 

Well it came as a longblock assembly right? If you really wanted the best bang for your buck I would say get a set of the 100% CNC'ed patriot stage 3 LS6 cast heads that are complete with dual patriot golds and titanium retainers and 2.00 and either 1.60 or 1.55 valves. ( I can't remember what they are) but they will still give you some 30-40 rwhp + in conjunstion with a t-rex you would be 420+ range and over 400 with tq. I think that those heads are like $1,299.00 or something to that affect. But if you do that definitely check into the 90/90 like we discussed earlier.

damn double post! Anyway I wasnt done with taht one yet. lol.

Probably not a discount. I think it is around 499$ for one of those 2 and LS1 Edit might have gone down in price, but i am not for sure. I havent heard anyone talk about it in a long time.

 

they sound really nice but the price burned my wallet. haha. id rather stiick with the stock ones, its not like its hard to change out heads later on rite?

 

just make sure that your day is wiiiiiide open.

 

haha. i appreciate u staying up with me in the middle of the nite! how much better are the ls6 over the ls1 heads

 

They have better flow overall. I have a set of LS1 853 castings that I would gladly sell you for next to nothing that way you wouldn't have any downtime if this is your DD.

 

It is no problem...I like helping other people out. plus I am more of a night person than a daywalker....wife is sick so I don't feel the need to contract strept throat.

 

damn. how much is next to nothing? it isnt gonna be my daily driver this summer because im doing some major work to it, rite now im just compiling parts and getting ready to build the block. im not in any rush, maybe i can take em off your hands in the spring maybe?

 

HAHA. nice.

 

Yeah man. I would send them to you for like 100$ shipped. Texas to Alaska is pretty pricey as far as rates on shipping go i think.

 

if u still have em in a couple months i mite take em off your hands.

 

Sure thing, I will hang on to them for as long as i need. I have a buddy that is wanting to get an LS1, so I might have a different set by then if he ever decides to drop the hammer.

 

do u have the site where they sell the trex?

 

yeah.

T-ReX v.2 - 242/248 - .608/.612 - 110 lsa 3500-6700 RPM Power Band. Violent mid-range & high RPM power. Requires computer tuning, 4000+ converter on autos, 4.10's or greater on manual trans cars. Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended. Due to the extreme nature of this camshaft, piston to valve clearance must be verified when using modified cylinder heads.

sounds pretty ballin to me! violent sounds like a good word to describe it after looking at the dyno graph. and i can get this in one of there packages too thats really nice. thanks for steering me in the rite direction, can i PM u if i ever need help?

 

dude, whatever you need to do or ever have any questions...The best time to get ahold of me is in the middle of the night.

 

And yeah, that cam is pretty much "***** through the wall"! Glad to steer you to the N/A side of the LS1 world.

 

believe me thats when ill be doing it, especially when i start working on it all the time. now if only i could find someone that has done this swap in an s10.....a wish one of those dozen or so ppl in the world that have an ls1 in their s10 would help lol
