I am looking at the texas speed 2.5 ls6 heads and ms3 cam with yank ss4000
1. What's your overall thoughts?
2. What would be the correct pushrod length for this setup?
3. Would I need fly cut?

Also what's the difference in a single and double roller chain?

I'm looking to do this after the new year and install myself with some help.

What would I need if I went with the ms4?
Thanks
