Maybe you should start with proper english. Just kicking you in the ***** while you're down. Search and stickies are your friend around here.

This place is like a big happy family. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. You must wear a thick coat around here. Lots of knowledge and good help around here. Didn't mean to be a dick... I have learned more from the stickies and searches on here than anything though.

call a couple vendors and tell them your setup. Thunderracing, LS1speed, TSP... they're all sponsors.

IMO its better to get advice from a shop that's done hundreds of combos vs. asking internet strangers...


my internet stranger advice is going to be to find a cam that makes peak TQ at your flash point of your stall....just my 2 cents...

Good call. Don't forget springs, pushrods, gaskets and be best to swap oil pump and timing chain/sprocket as well for added reassurance. Don't forget the oil pump o-ring either. Good luck! Find a good tuner as well if you want good driveability. That cam can be quite tempermental in a stalled auto with a shabby tune.

Be a good time to throw an underdrive pulley on there. Remember to get a new crank bolt also, as the stock one isn't reuseable.

OK, I have the underdrive pulley/ARP bolt, New timming chain with the (9) keyways, comp 7.400 pushrods and 918 valve spring.. The car has 49,239 miles on it.. should i still change the oil pump? I have a few other New parts that i'm not going to you. Like a timming set, ARP main studs and valve spring- they are the same has the 918.. I just can't post them yet..

you dont "have" to upgrade the oil pump, but its one of those things that's "while you're there, might as well change it"

My 55k mile pump failed, resulting in me building a new motor. I'll always recommend upgrading since the stock one is coming off anyways.

Yeah. You're going through all that work. Might as well get the oil pump upgraded. Consider it $160 insurance

Yes sir it will. I ran a ported TSP unit on my LS6 and know many others so they're effective.
