It depends on your driving style and where you want to be @ what rpm. (It depends on if you want to blow everythng away on the highway, or from stop light to stop light.)
Any future mods. are good to know about as well before making a final decision. If I had to do it all over again, I would have put in a 2 piece timing cover. The Vettes require removal of the steering rack just to remove the harmonic damper bolt. It's fun anyway, or we wouldn't do it.

If not, would it be big enough for either the TSP 228R or Comp 224/228 114lsa?
I don't think I would want to go with a Yank ss3600 2.5str. From what I've read, and correct me if I'm wrong, the 2.5 str would be really loose with 2.73 gears???
Sorry to hi-jack...

Here is where having 36# injectors @ 4bars, (58psi.) to run it at this point is needed, cam only. I replaced the heads recently, and bought the FAST 90 LSX and used the ETC LS2/LS7 90mm throttlebody. The heads are a ported LS6 #243 Stage II polished head, that has been milled down to 62cc. (11.0:1 CR) I brought this setup over to Slowhawk at DEZ and the stock 40K mile clutch, good for at least C-500ft./lbs started to slip during the torque peak @ 4800rpm. So this new SPEC clutch and flywheel had to be installed. Haven't had it dynoed yet, but it made over 440rwhp at 5000rpm on the slipping clutch. Can't wait to find out where we stand.

a cam I had before. that wasn't an overall max achiever. was the ASA cam. It made great torque and decent HP accross the board. and it sounded mean as well. one thing I liked is it had a low lift so I wasnt changing springs every 10k miles. I made 390rwhp, with all bolt on's minus the electric water pump.
