I wanted to do that cam. But Billy thinks I will just make the same power I am making now. I am more concerned with getting 6.80s out of this old motor & it being a dependable track car that puts down good numbers on the track back to back like the last setup you guys did for me.
What do you think would be a good setup for me. Pm me if you want?

If anything you could have them rebearing the lower end and have a little piece of mind.

I am going to take yours & Scotts advice & just play it safe & do the MS4
Daniel & I where talking & he said he notcied my car has piston slap really bad on start up when the car is cold. Once it warms up it is fine. But at first you would think there was a rod knocking. So I hope the short block will hold up till the end of 2008, I am willing to bet it will let go before though
At any rate. I am just doing Jaypee's old 1.5 TEA 5.3 Truck heads that have been milled 20 thousanths which should put me at 11.3 compression vs my old 241s.

Im willing to bet as soon as you install the heads and new cam it will let go shortly after.
Im not saying not to run that cam thats in this car at all..Im saying you need to pull some rod caps and inspect/install fresh rod bearings first.

Doesn't that mean taking apart the short block & putting in new Rod Bearings? I guess I am just doomed on this motor anyways no matter what cam I use. If had piston slap with my old cam I am sure I will have the same with this one. Is there anything I can do simple to pro long the short block on this motor?

piston slap is fairly normal. Let the motor warm up before you drive. They went to coated pistons in 01-02 to cure that noise.

I will take your advice on letting the motor warm up first. I always do that anyways. But I don't want to have SQR rip the whole shortblock apart since I am replacing the block mid 2008. So lets just take a friendly bet. I say end of 07 it will let go?

Rod bearings are about $20 bucks a set. Dropping the oil pan to replace them...$300 or so? Pull the rod caps off with the K-member out of the car, replace rod bearings while motor is in the car, and reinstall everything. $500 worse case scenario for another 25-35K miles of racing.
If its not spun now, a standard size bearing will replace it just fine. put in some rod bolts while you are there for another 70 bucks and spin that bitch hard. Main bearings hardly EVER let go. Its always rod bearings.
I have always run the longer PF61 truck filters and add a quart over full when im on the track. Ive never spun a bearing in my motors yet. I just break pistons with too much powa!
