Damn this is an old thread!
I went with the titanium retainers, just because i wanted to keep the valvetrain lighter, and stronger. As for the pushrods, I used 7.400 and havnt had any problems.

I made the numbers in my sig with mac mids and a stock ls1 intake. So with LT's and and ls6 intake, you should be at 400whp threw a M6.
Sorry man, i dont have any soudclips, but i can tell you it sounds mean(and loud) as hell. My exhaust set-up is in my sig.

And I agree with Predator, get rid of the damn fin!

I actually havnt sprayed it with the cam yet. When i went to have it tuned, it was the middle of the winter, and I hadnt put my bigger fuel pump in yet, so we wernt able to tune it for spray. My pump is in now, I just need to find time to go have it tuned again, and make sure the A/F is ok.
