Having the following done this week. I would like to hear your thoughts on the build. Looking for good power throughout (not a high rpm monster), good sound (Lopey idle) and good driveability, and reliability.

Pfadt 1 3/4 Headers, X-Pipe w/ Cats GM Exhaust Manifold Gasket
Halltech Super Bee MF103 Intake
Halltech Beehive for the Super Bee Air Intake Installation of Halltech Intake
RPM Custom Camshaft Package (Includes RPM Custom 227/243 115LSA .650/.660 Cam, Hardened TrickFlow 7/750 Pushrods, Camshaft Sprocket, Timing Chain, Water Pump Gaskets, Crank Pulley Bolt and Seal, Mobil 1 Oil Change, NGK Spark Plugs, Installation and Custom Dyno Tuning)
Advanced Induction Cylinder 280cc CNC'd Ported and Polished LS7 Cylinder Heads w/CHE Precision Bronze LS Valve Guides
BTR Platinum Spring Kit with Chromoly Retainers for LS Engines
REV LS7 Stainless Steel Exhaust Valve
LS7 Lifters
ARP 234-4317 Cylinder Head Stud Kit Removal and Installation of Cylinder Heads
SLP 160 Degree Thermostat

 

Sounds like a nice build. Please post up pics and vid when done.

My only comment is that your Cam selection is BIG!

 

It's supposed to be a fairly mild cam. It only has 5 degrees overlap. Can you elaborate?

 

Sounds like a pretty good combination. Should have great street manners with that mild of a cam. I drive mine every day, 35 miles round trip in a good bit of Houston traffic and I have a 235/251 .65x/.65x on a 113 LSA.

 

Thats not that big of a cam on that engine. Sounds like she is going to roll out pretty hard though! Those heads are the icing on the cake.

Post up pics/results!

 

I am hoping with the cam/headers it will have a fairly lopey idle and scream at WOT. Here are the major mods. Heads are not exact heads, but a picture of AI heads I could find. The rest are a true representation.

 

I would of gone for 1 7/8" headers but sounds like a solid combo regardless.

 

^^^ Normally I would agree but these Pfadts are a Tri-Y and much longer. These have made more power and better low end torque from what I've seen.

 

Sounds like a killer set up. Keep us posted on the results you achieve.

Looks like Christmas in July !
