Dont really have any input to give but will be watching for replies as I am building an 02 rcsb with an Lq9 as well. And what part of Arkansas are you from? Im originally from the Fort Smith area and graduated from UofA.

Your build should be good. What compression will you be at? I'm at 10.8:1 with a forged LQ9 and 5.3 heads which are 799 castings...64cc. I think they may be similar to hours but yours are milled.

And I'm running a 226/232. 578/.587 112+3 Howards cam.

Im also turbocharged so our setup will be a bit different.

I still have some tuning stuff to figure out and I haven't driven in other cammed cars so I can't compare cams but I like mine.

None the less good luck with your build. Your on the right track.
