Ls2 chain and stocker pump? Or melling?
Itll also get a new water pump (not electric), and all new gaskets.
Did @lazerlemonta say I needed a new balancer? Just oem replacment or sfi/whatever?
Seeing ati at about $400 and summit at about $200. Assuming the powerbond is right out as its just an oem replacement

How do we feel about the btr stage 3 cam? Seems fairly close to the titan 3. Specs below for reference.
Titan 3
Duration at .050": 227/237 - 113 Lobe Center Angle with a 109.5 Intake Centerline
Lift with 1.7 Rocker Arm Ratio: .621"/.604
Btr stage 3
Specs: 229/244 .615"/.595" 113+4
Just asking as the price at 719 for the kit with btr springs and ti retainers is appealing. Though it is 5/16 pushrods, might email them to see if theyd swap.
If its not as good no problem. Not going to let a few hundred dollars cause me a headache.

Depends on where you want your power. If you are just trolling the streets I would stick with T3. If you want more top end the BTR. But then you may as well get the Titan king like cam motion posted earlier. They do full kit specs also.

Curious what the real difference will be here. Peak moving up to 7k? Will the bottom end of the rpm be weaker? Just noodling some things.

If you are wanting to run 10 sec down the 1/4 mile you will at least need a stage 3 camshaft.
Either the 233/250 113lsa +5 from Brian Tooley or the titan 4 from cam motion.
you will require gearing and other supporting mods too for this to work well.

But if you want the bigger cam you can use a looser stall to tame it.

Spider is telling you right. Eventually it comes down to preference. A slightly tighter converter and slightly smaller cam vs larger cam and looser converter. If you do not plan to rev into the 7's, I would truly stick to the smaller cams.
But if you want the bigger cam you can use a looser stall to tame it.

This is a bull **** statement lol I went mid 10s stock cam/heads...... There is an auto that bested me by a few thousandths as well stock cam. These cars work well when you put some effort in to make them accelerate..... Spend the $400 and buy the ATI or look on the forums/ facebook etc for a used one.
