So I have stock 6.0, 2003 vintage. 20,000 miles out of Silverado.

Comments on the following.

Short block. Leave stock.

Heads updated L92 from Scoggins.Will they increase or decrease the stock compression?

Cam. I need help. Need 15" vacuum for brakes and want sleeper idle.

Rockers use stock.

New larger diameter push rods.

Ported oil pump.

I have a BBK intake. Will a stock throttle body and mass air flow well enough for the above?

Now for the big question. Who in the Minneapolis/St.paul area can help me tune this engine once it's in the car.

Thanks,

Jim

Just looked at the L92 intake.

I think it's better than the BBK. At least it looks cool.

The heads will increase comp. I would run a LS6 cam. And the L92 or LS6 intake will work nice.

Any non L92/L76 intake will NOT fit those heads. Your BBK intake (unless they released some new L92 port style intake that I don't know about) will not fit your ports properly.
