Looks solid. You might want a smaller cam for a dd. It's not like you can dd that cam...but you will gain more power under the curve with something in the low/mid 230's.

That is a great setup, I would get some LS7 lifters while you at it.

As for DD, I think its all in the tuner. My tuner made my Torquer V3 drive like stock.

Haven't researched or even seen a single thread about the lifters ("no respect. . .").

Something special or super-bo-whamodine light w/the LS7 lifters? Same diameter as the LS1/LS6 lifters or would the block need work to fit them? (i.e. is it a hassle?)

you will need to get the lifters, you will have a "sowing machine" sound, unless it doesnt bother you but yeah the ls7 will be much smoother
