? bout heads and cam

[camaro2you]

I am contemplating doing heads and cam to my 98, but im afraid that the motor is a little to far up there to do it, has about 110k on it right now. thanks in advance.

just go with a cam that makes peak tq before 4500 rpms and peak hp below 6000 that way you don't have to spin it to the moon to have good power. Otherwise heads/cam can only do your car good :)

With a 98 LS1 you are pushing your luck with heads and cam on a low mileage car, let alone 110K +. Pre 00 cars had VERY weak rod bolts, where as 00 and up just had weak ones. I would say don't do it but it is your car.

<----votes for the 224/224 cam from Thunder racing. small cam that makes big numbers.

Cody, just jack the motor up a bit and toss on some ARP rod bolts while you have it all apart. :)

Well then you might as well yank the motor now, rebuild it, and drop in a mild cam. Swap to later heads while you are at it.

i think thats what im gonna end up doing, do you know any good lsx shops around, ive also been toying wih the idea a ls2, but thats gonna run me a lot and its gonna have to wait a while.

well if you are looking for heads, i have 2000 ls1 ones, and a bunch of other 2000 and 2001 parts available.

To be honest a few years back i was hesitant about working on my LS1, but by now i wouldnt waste the money on having anybody else do anything to it. its very simple and straight forward. I took a bunch of pics of my new engine as i added stuff to it so if you need any advice or such maybe i could help.

i'm rebuilding soon, id say rebuild and take care of the rod bolts, dont wanna do that later when they break now would ya? haha. yeah take care of them and do the tr224/224 cam

[GrandmasterCow]

dont mod it then, sell it to me in a year :drool:

haha easier said than done! lol

If you are intersested I still have my 241 01-02 heads...I agree with the 224 cam, very goo dpower and still very easy for everyday driving.
