Default Heads and Cam Question?

I am aboout to purchase heads and cam for my 2002 LS1, I am going to purchase the prc ls6 heads stage 2.5. I plan on going with the magic stick 4 camshaft with the heads. They cam will be on a 111LSA. They heads will have PRC Dual Valve Springs. Some questions are-
What length pushrods will i need?
What head gasket will be good?
Will this require flycutting?
Would it be better to run these heads with MS3?


I will also have 4.10 gears at the time to help getting it moving.
Please let me know what you guess think. thanks

Did you ask PRC? They probably have some recommendations for cams. pushrods, gaskets, etc. A lot will depend on your total engine/vehicle package.

I would call PRC or Texas Speed because either place can help you out with what you need. You will get legit answers from the people that make the products, atleast, I would hope so...

Jon at TSP has been very helpful when I PM him about any of this stuff.

The MS4 camshaft won't clear with the 2.5 heads The larger valves will require you to cut your pistons. If you'd like to cut the pistons you can run some extra compression & run even larger valves.

Those heads will work fine with MS3 my friend had them with stock heads gasket and 7400 length pushrods from TSP.

The MS4 With those heads will be an awesome combo if you did the flycutting.
Good luck man.
