What would be the right springs and retainers for a tr224? would Patriot Gold "extreme" spring kit do? Ive got a basically stock SS right now. Planning to do shorties (Cali Smog) and Y w/ high flow cats. What else do i need for a tr224 swap? Also should i do the headers/y pipe first or cam first?

regular patriots would work. dont forget to do an ls2 tiiming chain and an ls6 pump.

Get your exhaust work done first.

In the mean time, run a search on the tr224 and you'll get all the info you need. Or just call Thunder Racing.

Comp 918s are usually fine for a 224 cam. But, if you want the added safety of a double spring, the Patriot Golds (.650 lift) would work as well.

Do i "need" a new timing chain and oil pump?

its up to you, you dont have to.

The cars all ripped down for the cam. There's really no charge to install the chain and only a few bucks to do the pump. Cheap insurance if you ask me.

do the cam last

simple comp 918 springs are more than suffiecent

i guess the question should be, how many miles on the engine?

Ok its a 2000 SS M6 w/ 55,xxx miles. Lid, cut out, some other small stuff. Thing is that money is tight and i want to get the most out of my dollar, but still make a reliable set up. btw it is my dd.

you need all of your supporting mods before you go throwing in a cam. do some searching, the answers are all there
