heads and cam are in the car
 

i got the heads and cam in my car this weekend car sounds mean. i need to turn up the idle ill have to edit it tomarrow. the cnc ported ls6 heads went on with out a problem. the pushrods i used were 7.350 that yielded me almost 2 turns of preload thats what most people told me i would need. i had a problem with the timing chain had to do it twice because someone was talking to me while i was doing it "thanks pete".car did not want to idle so i punch out the tb hole to 1/4 that helped. im getting some missfire codes might be cause the car is surging to idle at 600.i guess ill turn the idle up to 900 . then i need to get to the dyno and tune the car i think im going to shift the car at 6800 and rev limit at 7000. car pulls hard upstairs from 4200 and up.maybe ill hit the dyno this week and i have no ping and the compressin is 11.0 to 1

lets see how it does

Excellent.. let me know when you go to dyno it, or when you decide to bring it out to the track!

George, does the cam you used have a stock base circle? I am installing the cnc ls6 heads on my car and want to make sure I have the right length
pushrods. the ls6 valves stems are longer and the cam I am using has a stock base circle. I have the heads bolted on and the rockers and pushrods
(7.35 length) installed. I crank the motor over and I got compression, but worried once I start the engine the lifters will pump up and prevent the valves from closing.

Thanks, jeremy
