head/cam questions.
im planning on finally doing my H/C and i was just wondering what you guys suggest upgrading in the process. timing chain? injectors? push rods? oil pump? so far i have kooks LT's,high flow cats, corsa catback, lid, and some other suspension stuff. also, what company heads do you guys suggest? i was looking at AFR's or PRC's from texas speed http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/cate...MID=1&catid=40 is there any other company thats better? and time for the question everyone ask's.. what cam would you suggest getting? ive read alot about them and and all the size's mean and all that but there are just so many variables. if it helps the car is a 6 speed 02 WS6 with 25K any info/advise would be greatly appreciated!

ok, what are your intentions for the car? Outline what you have done and are doing or what you want the car to do and we can figure it out.

intentions are to have a significant HP jump and a nice drop in the 1/4 mile haha so far i have kooks LT's,high flow cats, corsa catback, lid, and some other suspension stuff. someone told me to check out the cartek 2x package. the cam is 224/228 with a 113 LSA with a .590 lift and heres the like to the heads. http://www.cartek.net/parts/headsand...eadsmain.html# seems like a good package to me (but i know nothing) but i dont really want to run it to 6400rpm and 3400's kinda late for the power band of the cam.

well -- the first place you need to start would be how much room do you have between the bottom of the valve spring retainer and the top of the valve guide seal < and that would be if you know for sure what the installed valve spring pressure is at this time, you can than pick a cam that fits the combo you have, not tryiing to be a smart as but its the way a good shop would do for you if you wanted to know how big a cam you could put in the motor < having said all that their are guys on here who know what you can do with out knowing all of that -- and that is the key to this site -- the guys can and will help you out -- jz

And 6400 RPM is nothing for an LS1.... - Justin |
would the AFR heads http://texas-speed.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=131 work well with the MS4 cam http://texas-speed.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=666 ?? also back to my original post.. is there anything else else that should/has to be upgraded?

i personally don't kno much about the ls series motors. but i've seen plenty of those cartek h/c cars runnings 10's with stock short block. matter fact there's a vid of someone here doing a 10.32@132 with their 4x package and built rear

You can always talk to Matt @ TTP about their h/c packages as well....

:stupid:
you'd probably get the best advice talking to a shop that deals with this kind of thing everyday. |
