I should be wrapping up a swap/build with SpartanLSX. 95 Trans Am, 2011 L96 (6.0 iron block) swap.

Build details: Ported 823 heads, LS valves
Custom grind
A/C delete, P/S delete, under drive pulley
Stock bottom, ARP rod/ main/ head, Mahle forged piston
LS3 intake, injectors, MAF
Nick Williams TB
T56, McCleod RXT twin disc and billet flywheel
Tick Performance Master Cylinder
QP Fab9", 3.90, 35 spline, spool
Nitrous plate
Tubular k member, uppers lowers

wrapping up the build, just wanted to see some thoughts of experienced LS owners for the following:

Coil Packs. I hear the MSDs are NOT worth the money. Is OEM sufficient? Might as well upgrade now since I have to buy something anyways right?

water pump. The Meisers are expensive as hell.. but is it a good investment?

SO after a little bit of research, I keep reading that if you have an aftermarket Master Cylinder (Bigger bore), it's best to stick with a stock slave cylinder. Or do I have that wrong? What are you guys running?

I'm probably forgetting a few other items but I'll post on here again. Waiting for y'alls input.

thanks guys.

 

I would stick with a set of stock coils and a stock water pump if I were you. As far as the slave goes, I am not sure.

 

The meziere is worth 15-20 hp depending on your max rpm, current power level, blah blah blah. Its up to you if it's worth it. You can spend more money for less benefit. But you can spend less money for more benefit.

Master cylinder, if it's a bigger bore, the OE F body slave from 98-02 is good. Be prepared for a bit extra pedal effort. If guys at the gym start asking why your left thigh is so much bigger than your right thigh, you'll know why. Its even worse with smaller diameter clutches

Coil packs, I'd just get a set of truck coils

 

I have the round truck coils on mine, they are supposed to be good..
