im gonna probly do the work myself with some help from my dad. im probly gonna go with the stage 2.5 ls6 heads, texas speed says these flow better than the 5.3's. im gonna use the tsunami cam 235/240 .654/609

 

tj can get stuff from texasspeed also. They port his heads if I remember right.

 

Damn bro that lift on that cam is huge!!..lol.. Correct me if I'm wrong, brandons MS4 has what, a .619-.609 lift?

 

You guys love top end on here Hope it turns out stout!

 

apparently the goal for the tsunami is to put out the power of a larger duration cam without the addes duration. so its sposed to make more power than the ms3 and 4. and the low end seems to be pretty good from what i have researched.


i hope so too! lol it should go great with some 4.10's

 

i talked to wong and he said i would be better off just ordering everything from texas speed.

 

How well are the the valvesprings supposed to hold up to that tsunami cam?

 

ill be going with the dual springs, but i dont really know how long they will last 20,000 miles?

 

I'm stuck with what future HP mods I wanna do. I'm thinking Texas Speeds Stage 2.5 5.3L heads and a small emissions camshaft. I don't want anything to radical nor do I need something with a ton of top end. Something streetable, smog friendly that pulls hard through out the entire powerband. Even a valve Train upgrade and a 100 shot would do me good

 

that should be a sweet setup if do all that stuff, i find myself changing my mind alot when i think about what i wana do with my car. ive had probly 20 different setups planned.

 

I'd start checking the (seat/open) pressures at 10k miles with that much lift. Once they start to go bad you can run into ptv contact real quick.

uuuuugh, this choice of cam is allready leaving a bad taste. maybe i should just go with the vrx5. or i dont know i guess that wouldent be that big of a deal its gonn take forever to put 10,000 miles on it anyway

 

Just do an ls7 swap and call it good

 

ya just let me round up 16 or 17k real quick

 

Hey I don't know if you have seen this video yet but you should check out cartek's stuff.
Last time I check, wich was a while ago but he has 125k in this car.

What are your goals/plans with the car? Is it a DD or just for a cruise/track now and then? How many miles on the car?

 

my goals are to run mid to low 11's and have at least 450whp. car is not a DD, its just for the track, cruise days going to car shows etc... it currently has 60,000 miles on the clock

 

Awesome vid man, thanks for sharing.

As long as the bottom end of the engine is in good condition with no abnormal wear, mileage isn't really a concern. I'd take a high mileage bottom end in good condition anyday over a low mileage motor that was put together wrong. My last 387 shortblock is a prime example of that. It had,,, maybe 2500 miles total on the shortblock before the rod decided it didn't want to play anymore, and no, I did not assemble that shortblock. I have MTI Houston to thank for that one.... Thankfully they're not in business anymore for the reasons listed.....

Wonder how much money he spent to be differnt.
Probably to much.lol

yeah cartek has, I think some good pkg deals. Heads, cam, double roller, wires, plugs and some other stuff for, I think 2,800. I haven't priced it all out sperate but might be a deal that's worth it?

Should check out there site

 

That's a cool video, I posted it in the Oregon thread a while back, pretty impressive for heads and cam and traction lol
