Do you plan on keeping AC? thats a good cam. If i was staying N/A i would have bought that one. The ls6 cam i have now is a dog below 3500 rpms, but vtec kicks in then and it flies!

Nope. No a/c. I heard the 224r cam is a good low/mid range cam so that's why I went with it. It'll be a dedicated trail rig. It won't look all hillbillied out like it does now when I get it to where I want it. Lol

I want more of a trail truck look, then a mud boggers, like it is now. Is yours LS swapped already? I'm wondering what to do for throttle cable

i got you.

yeah my swap is done and ive put k miles on it so far and not a single problem. getting it dyno tuned though pretty soon to squeeze more power out of it and change some shift points and what not.

mine is DBW and i had a 4l60e built for it. all plug and play. hardest part was mounting the pedal assembly! the 4l60e bolted right in place of the 700r4 i had.

Good deal. I'm hoping to have mine going in the next month or 2. Just need to figure out how to go about running a throttle cable. I have a idea for everything else. What did you do for a fuel pump? I was thinking a in line walboro 255 with the corvette inline regulator/ filter
