With that size stall and gear I would look towards the MS3 or the new cam TSP has out designed specifically for the PRC LS6 heads they have. They can get you a good package deal.

I went top dollar, so I would say AFR 205's with 59 cc and G5X3 cam
Make sure you upgrade to comp 921 dual springs, I added comp R lifters as well.
Love my setup, pulls like a mule from 2000 rpms to 6800 only because that's where the rev limiter is set for daily driving. LOL. A little bit of cam surge, a little more tuning should settle her in though. Very happy. 11's all day on run flats and gets over 34 mpg on the E-way. Who could ask for more. Ok forged block, blower, and some spray but why be greedy. Hope this helps.

The ls2 timing chain wll be fine, I'd aviod those comp lifters though, too many of those have blown apart and take teh motor, ( block and all ) with them.... I can give you the names of several people that have had that happen. Just get new OEM lifters you will be fine with them. As for the ehads and cam, there's so many ways to get to 450+ rw, praticially any path is a o.k. one to take. Just depends what you want to do, if boost/nitrous are in the future, I'd think about an aftermarket casting for the head deck thickness.

Hey cashSS99, yes they had to flycut the pistons. No worries. Everything is going great, and it seems to be running better. I do have a dyno run posted on "dyno results and comparisons" section. Just look for
allngn_c5 on the dyno. HumpinSS posted it for me. Thanks again BTW.
Let me know what you think. Good luck on your decisions of what cam and heads to use.
