Fratsit it looks like you can really benefit from an LS6 intake! That yould put you in the 400rwhp/390rwtq range.

I 100% agree with you ,however, for now my mod money has been diverted until we close on our house (27 March). I did manage to sqeeze a roadrunner out of the wife (does that sound right??) as a re-enlistment gift, but thats it until at least summer time.

Onebadz28,

Hindsight being 20/20... I recommend measuring for pushrod length. Damn... maybe I should follow my own suggestion....

yeah i plan on measuring to get the exact length i need. I was just curious to see what length the majority was using. As far as the rockers go i've been told to stick with the stock ones, but i'm not 100% sure of it. I've heard good things about the Harland Sharp roller rockers, and they cut down on the valvetrain noise. I just can't wait to get in there and start turning some wrenches, but when i get started i'm going to take pictures as i'm doing the install and keep the forum posted with them.

Fratsit,

Yes you can definatly benefit big time from an ls6 intake. Really nice numbers i hope mine produces the same or more lol.

Stockers come apart, I would hate to build a new engine, and destroy it because of needle bearings,

Trev, I hope you read this thread,

I have a torquer v3. I am 100% happy with my cam choice. Awesome street/strip cam. Ive only had the car insured for a weekend and i have a decent tune on it now. It drives great. I think with a little bit more tuning (i am using hptuners) i can get all the surge out.

How much more often would you have to change the springs with the v3? Approximate at least.

I think it would depend on how aggressive the car is driven. For someone that drives it hard/lots of track time they should check them often.

I plan on popping one off at 15,000 miles and checking, unless something comes up that would require spring pressure to be verified sooner. I remember reading on here the one of the guys at TSP had 20,000+ miles on his PRC springs and they were holding up just fine. Trevor may be able to better verify though.

T3 here and I also love it, you won't be disappointed! I have the TSP mail tune and its working good so far, but a dyno tune is in my near future. Let us know how you like it, and what heads you get.

All these T3s and no idle clips or dyno's so we can compare it to the T2.

Trevor,

You guys install the T2 and T3 and tune them all the time. Show us some dynos so we can see where the TQ differance is on the power band. Im not looking at which will make peek numbers, but I think it would help of we can see a couple overlap scans of where the power is made differantly between the two cams.

Can we get a bone here.
