I have a 210/218 .551 .551 112 in my 6L/Radix. So far so good. This was in a brand new LQ4. Changed the rod bolts (Kaetech), springs, hardened pushrods, Kaeteck oil pump and was done.

I say do the install yourself. I dont have that good of mechanic skills and only basic hand tools(I had to buy a valvespring compressor from Napa and pen magnets) and I did mine myself. It actaully a lot easier than it seems. I used the ls1how-to write up to guide me through it.
All ya gotta do is pull the radiator, water pump. front cover, cam gear, and cam retainer and your there. Springs are another story though, I reccomend have 2 ppl for that job(at least with my experience) Took us about 3 hours for that.
