So I've been going between turbo an camming with gears, needless to say cam an gears won lol. Truck in sig, 4l80 4k stall , lq9 will have 60lb injectors with a tbss intake, 862s ferrea 2.02 intake and 1.57 exh valves, prc dual springs,titanium retainers, multi angle valve job.. milled .030/ now have a 58cc combustion chambers and 3.42s. Plan now is 4.10s an I was thinking the tsp 228 but ive noticed the 222/226 eps an like the way it looks, either cam would be on a 110 as I want a choppy idle. I'm going to be getting tuned for e85 also , I was wondering what yalls thoughts and opinions were of this setup an what if anything I could or should do a little different, truck is my dd and I dont want to rev over 6200.


Thanks Kyle

 

Also what length pushrods would I need? An should I worry about the timing chain or anything while I'm in it, motor has 65k miles.

 

I am in the same boat. Wondering about the chain/oil pump. But then again how often u read about either breaking??

 

I think if not mistaken ls6 timing chain and oil pump. Some more knowledgeable guys may chime in.

 

LS-2 oil pump and double roller chain,TSP has em for like under 200 bucks,might as well get some LS-7 lifters while your at it.

 

Any thoughts on the cam choices? I wasnt going to worry about the oil pump, lifters or timing chain to be honest, because I never hear about them failing especially under 100 k miles. Thoughts?

 

I didnt wanna change em either, even on 65,000,but I was all ready that far in and it's cheap insurance,the push rods for sure after you find out the length.

I did a 224R on a 110 for the 4.8,plus a 3800 circle D converter,now thats all gonna be in the six liter.

 

typically rhe EPS came need a 7.425" push rod assuming you are using the stock lifters and the heads arent milled. Since yours are... you might be best off with a 7.4" PR. I'm no expert here though so I'll let someone else chime in too.

 

Should I be concerned if I dont change the timing chain, oil pump or lifters? The ls6 oil pump an ls7 lifters are direct replacement right?

 

If u got the heads off change lifters, for the price of the chain change it also do the oil pump o ring pump should be fine but depends on your budget though
