Head and cam combo?

[94ltz]

Well i know my LT1's pretty well and have started to look into LS1 setups for a buddy of mine and was just wondering what you guys had in mind as far as putting a combo together that would give him plenty of power and still fun to drive.

Car info
2001 T/A 5.7-
6 speed
LS6 intake
big fliter replacing the box setup (forgot the name)
Borla Cat back
100 wet shot

Lets hear what you guys think would be a great combo.Thanks guys

I have had realy good luck with texas speeds ms4 cam and 150-200 hp shot, but you will need atleast 4.10 gears. Im sure there might be a better cam, and or setup

I say this with as much respect as i humanly can....
TEXAS SPEED SUCKS DEAD CAMEL NUTS!!! they're great til they get your money, but if they messed up, you're %100 on your own... I spent over $9k with them, and had to run through the motor 1000 miles in...

as far as heads & cam combo... i'm setting a buddy up with a stock head/T-Rex cam, and all the bolt ons... should be around 450-500hp car N/A... talk to Madman @ thunderracing.com, he'll set you up.

I am also not a tsp fan, screwed me on parts for my 2010, I have heard good things about thunder racing, just havent needed to try them yet

TSP is the only place i've ever heard of that "CNCs" your heads far enough that rocker bolts break off... not the bolt, the molding around the threads..

Thunderracing.com totally kicks ass... sdparts2000.com is the ONLY place i order OEM crap from, they're cheap, and fast... LMR is coming up too, Joe and Amber Honeycut work there now (fastest 6-speed F-body in the world), they're amazing people to work with. Wormboy from LMR know's everything about LSXs you'd ever want to know.

I have an LMR intake now great people to deal with. If you or anyone on here need a gm part let me know I can beat most any dealer

Very good to know, thanks.. you have any hook ups on slicks and drag wheels? I need a new setup

[trembless]

no, I work at a gm Dealer, I wish I had a aftermarket hookup

Hey brock. If you would like some info on some combos for your friend, let me know. I recently finished some N.A. cars that are putting down some good numbers.

Just make sure you get the newer L92/LS3 heads.. the originals from 2006 start lifting at 850hp

[94ltz]

LOL i'm not sure how soon he'll be maing 850hp..

[camaro408ss]

haha... dont you need minimum of 4.000 bore to use L92s anyway?

[trembless]

yes you do

[camaro408ss]

good, just make sure i'm not losing my mind

[Roley]

naa thats over raited :) whats .10 of a bore anyways? lol

[94ltz]

Damn you Roley, oh well good thing i have till after the first of the year to find a good combo but one thing for sure is some long tubes and a clutch to handle it.

The new L92/LS3 setups totally kick ass... stock molds are hovering around 400cfm per port.... then, if you can afford em, a Becks manifold ($2000) is a great combo.

[Roley]

i know 400 a port is like big block numbers. so bad ass

I usually get all my parts from Thunder and have always been happy. I run one of their head and cam combos. I like it.
