About a month after all that got on, my tranny took a dump and is now rockin a new LS6 clutch and Level IV RPM built transmission. The time for more power has come and here's the parts I've ordered so far.

Ordered:
-Eibach Pro-kit
-KYB shocks
-LM Motorsports G5X3 cam
-Comp Cams 921 Spring Kit
-Comp Cams pushrods
-Hooker cat-back
-Raptor shiftlight
-LS6 oil pump

Ordering:
SLP U/D Pulley and bolt (will be ordering tomorrow)
^^ Final peice of the puzzle!

I'll also be getting black ZR1's next month, then its time to save up for a new rear end and hope my 10 bolt doesn't break before then!

CHECK THE BEARINGS FOR EXCESSIVE WEAR!!! In fact, just plan on changing the rod bolts to ARP, and getting some new bearings. Believe me, you will wish you did if your cam turns out the way mine did.

I knew a few people who have had this cam in their LS1's and had no problems. I'm hoping for the same

get ready for that clutch to take a dump too. the ls6 clutch is no better than a stock ls1 in my opinion. First time i took my car to the track w/ long tubes only, and some sticky tires, the first run said bye bye clutch. and the car only had 10,000 miles on it. You probably won't have to worry bout your rear though with it in there.

Ehh, not worried about the clutch. It is a 200 mile clutch (when installed about 3-4 houndred miles ago) but if it does dump its all good because I paid like $50 for it. Plus I'll steel my roommates 02 slave cylinder he has laying around when I pull the tranny.
