I'm trying to decide what heads and cam to buy, and whether I should buy them in a package or not. I'd like to go with Patriot LS6 Stage II's and the TREX. My car only has 7k on it now, so I don't see a need to go any lower into the bottom end on the engine. Does anyone know what else I would need? Are larger injectors necessary? I plan on buying an LS6 intake, ported oil pump, dual roller timing set, plus all the other necessary items like bolts, gaskets, etc. Any one know exactly what I would need, I plan on having a friend of mine that works at a GM dealer do my work in my garage and he really knows his stuff. I know once I'm done, it will need tuning and I was planning on taking it to either Rapid Motorsports (closest shop to my house, maybe 2 or 3 hours) or LS1 Speed (about 10hrs away). Any and all help and suggestions are appreciated. I'm kinda on a tight budget being in school, but I need more power I plan on making it a dual purpose street/strip car. Thanks!

 

Do you have the necessary bolt ons to support the TRex? Long Tubes, ported TB, LS6 intake? UD pulley?
Is the car M6 or A4? Gear out back? Clutch?

 

I have an M6, SLP L/T, SLP ORY or Random Tech Cats(i have both), Stock TB, 85 mm MAF, Getting an LS6 intake when I find one, Stock pullys, Either buying a 12 bolt but at the moment I'm attempting to build a 9inch b/c I have all the parts, Ram Clutch
If I think of anything else, I'll post it.

 

Yeah, that cam is bad as hell, but you need a good support to run it well. Good intake, headers, exhaust. You'll need tall gears (4.10's or higher) would be good for the cam.

 

Well, make sure to opt for 4.10's/4.11's if going the TRex or TSP MS3 route. If staying with, say 3.42's, come down in size to like a Futral F11 or at most a TSP Torquer II. Good luck!

 

That's the gearing I plan to run, I think I have a set of 4.11's right now, which willl work perfect.

 

I would get a nice pakage deal from one of the sponsors. And find something that fits your needs, like go fast but very streetable.

 

You should be able to run the t-rex wiht no problems with that gear ratio.

 

Welcome Aboard Nick!

 

Whatever set-up you go with, rapid motorsports does an awesome job tuning ls1's.

 

I agree Rapid does great dyno tuning!!

We just finished up a brand new version of our LS6 program that really flows big air! This port was designed to flow well with smaller valves as well as options for bigger valves. The intro pricing for the base LS6 head will be $849 & we have tons of upgrade options for the heads. You can get the heads prepackaged with your choice of camshaft such as the Magic Stick 3, Etc.. We have these heads ready to go so feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

 

We have several options on the 243 castings. Here are some flow numbers from a set of 243 castings with 2.00"/1.55" that we are shipping today.
