I don't have the money to spend $1000 to have these items professionally installed at a shop, so I thought I'd see if there is anyone on here with some experience who'd like to make some money on the side.

I'm in the Fox Lake area, but am willing to travel anywhere within reason to get this done.

If someone can help out please let me know, thanks!

 

what heads and cam????

 

Ported 241's, and 02+ LS6 cam.

I wanted to keep idle and street driveability just like stock. I feel this combo will serve me best in that area while also being cost effective.

 

I would help, but I'm 5 hours away. Go to ls1howto.com. They have a great article on installing h/c. It's really not that hard. Just a lot of little things.

 

throw the ls6 cam in the garbage.

 

whats the point of doing heads/cam with that setup.
you can go bigger and with proper tuning you'll be perfectly streetable

 

agreed at least go a 224/224

 

im with him, ls6 cam isnt going to provide much gain.

 

i am with chrs1313 had a 224/224 on a 114 in my gto with ported 241's easy to drive on the street and pulled really nice all the way up to 6200

 

i am in crystal lake, i can always give a hand

 

From searching around, it appears that with full bolt-on's and the LS6 cam/heads (assuming the ported 241's will flow just as well as the stock 243's); people are putting down close to, or just over 400rwhp. That is all the power i'm looking for.

I also like that the LS6 cam won't put as much stress on the valvetrain. I don't like the idea of having to change out the springs every ~30k with a bigger cam.

 

if i was you i still would put new valve springs in the heads they are cheap and easy pluse you already have the heads

 

Oh yea i plan on replacing the valvesprings. While everything is apart i'd like to replace whatever i can for peace of mind, pushrods, timing chain, oil pump, etc.

 

still interested in help.. i have a brother in law that knows how to do that stuff. we live a 10 minutes south of joliet from I-55. i dont know how to do that stuff but he would be able to discuss that with you. just pm me back or something and i will have him call you if youre still intersted

 

did you ever get my pm?

 

get my pm also?
