About a month ago the engine and heads on my 99 Z28 M6 warped, and I was in the hole.

I've finally found some money. I bought an LS6 block with 913 miles, LS6 Stage II CNC ported heads with oversized valves and 600 lift springs, titanium pushrods, and the fattest cam I could buy. It's going to have the LS1 pistons, crank, and all other parts into it.

I've also got a pro5 stick, k&n wide-open intake, and slp hood on it. This is all into a 1LE type (I say that because it's not actually a 1LE, but it's got no t-tops, no power windows, no power locks).

With all this, how much RWHP should I be at? With that in mind, how long do you think my stock 10-bolt and stock clutch will last? (And on that note, what can I do to further their lives.) D:

Another question -- while I've got the engine taken apart, are there any cheap parts I should get that will just make everything smoother? My budget here is around 200 bucks, so keep that in mind when you shout out new crank or rockers.

Thanks for any answers.

 

what are the specs on the cam...that makes all the difference in the world.

 

I should rephrase "bought" to "buying." I've bought everything but the cam, only because I was going to call comp cams and have them give me the specs for the best cam for me. That's the only thing keeping me from buying it.

In that case, why don't you throw out the best specs you think there are for this setup.

 

Cam specs:
Duration @.050 222-224
Lift .566-.568
LSA 112
RPM Range 1800-6800

 

If I had ls6 stage two heads, i think the smallest cam i would be looking at would be a g5x2 or fm11 cam. I would more then likely go with a g5x3 cam or an fm13 cam. But then again, i am a twenty year old boy looking for speed. If your looking for something really nice to drive, look at the cam posted about, a 224/224 114 lsa cam would be nice, also mti has some "sleeper" cams that are nice, low duration but high lift.

oh and the cam you have above, i would guess 410 rwhp, on the ones i listed i would guess mid 420's on the first two, and upper 430's/lower 440's on the second two.

 

The only thing I'm worried about is going above what the components can handle. Can I get a 600/610 lift cam with 600 lift springs? Can I go above/below that?

 

I would say your gonna be around 400rwhp I would get a little bigger cam with just under 600 lift
