Thread: I've been brainstorming a neat little setup...(those with NIC cams please chime in)

I like your way of thinking. I'd go for a nice pair of heads, but I want to overhaul the suspension on the car. I just want to see how far I can push this set up, down the road I'll pick up some form of stage 3 heads or something. I assume your latter comment is because I'll be able to only have so much boost that the heads will become a major bottle neck, hence the extra timing?

As for valvetrain stuff, I'll be rocking a double roller, Manley steel retainers, and I'm thinking of using L76(g8 GT?) springs instead of the LS6's, and do I really need the OE-R lifters? At this point in time I really don't see my car being a rev monster. I made peak power at 5300~ rpms when I had the 3.4 sc pulley and the intake.

my power comes on around 3500, and pulls pretty nice up to 6k fyi
