You made a wise choice, Pat Guerra does great work! I am sure he will get in touch with you if he needs further details, but no doubt you will be getting a top notch cam.

Guerra group will spec it and they can grind it for you. I believe EPS grinds them. My cam was spec'd by pat G at Guerra.

Two thumbs up for Pat G - seems like everyone who worked with him had an exceptional experience. Then I'll definitely go with what he'll recommend. Maybe he'll sell me springs and pushrods along with the cam.

I don't think he "sells" anything other than his expertise. He might recommend the other cam related items, but the cam is the tough part.

That's cool. I just wanted to get some good advice on the most important thing and once aided with this knowledge I can gather parts myself.

There is a guy on LS1Tech who's selling 6.0L motor build for boost. Compression ratio is 8 (or 8.5). What's the lowest compression you guys recommend for use with TVS1900? I've read some posts stating that with such low compression you'd need a lot of boost to make a move. That it would be a dog off the line. This model, with smaller pulley, will probably be too small to produce satisfactory results?

I would pass on that , you wont make enough boost to make that engine put the power down that a bigger blower would.

My LQ4 @ 9.4-1 is Lots of fun, I think the LQ9 @ 9.8-1 would be even more fun with a 1900 Atop it.

That 8.5 motor im betting would love 13-15 PSI.
