    Oh geese.. if your looking at DD stuff you wanna keep the cam on the light side, me personally am a fan of the Rec port style stuff but the cathedral stuff makes big power and is known for making big power. All these is according to budget. You can make 400-440 very very easily 460-510 takes soil more money and thought about process. Set your goals, set your budget, which setup( na, boost, or spray) and you can build accordingly.

    Lil John is great for turbo stuff but NA I haven't seen anything too impressive. I have talked to Jon and will probably go with him IF my 236/236 setup doesn't work as well as I want.
    Martin from Tick has proven cams, Brian Tooley who works ALOT with Jon is another option and I would go with tooley over Jon for a NA/spray cam as I have in past on my nitrous setups.

    243/799 and ls6/fast setup makes good power and options of porting heads and or fast down the road. Down here I have a lot of performance shops that I support so I don't really buy or get info from anyone else. Tick performance, Mayhem Motorsports, RPM, HED, Ultimate Converters.

    There are a million different options out there. Need to know goals, budget and use to point you in the right way

    As far as goals, I'm not doing a racer. I'm doing a fun driver. Little lumpy idle. Snappy on the throttle. To take it to the strip will require more work. This isn't farmtruck here. Hahaha. I do want some power though.
    The trans i assume is controlled by the PCM...hence the "e". Shift points and such can be manipulated, right?

    Yea and it's the TCM.

    For budget. I'd do like mentioned before by sk360. L92s and ls3 intake with cam of your choice, ed Curtis if you go custom or a 243/799 setup with one of ticks torquemax cams or a custom one from Martin and your stock intake or a Fast 92 if in budget with a good tune.

    I will be driving up to Tick performance soon to get a few parts for my new build and to talk about a cam for a ls1 swap going into a S10 (once I find another truck)

    If ya ever need any help or looking for any parts feel free to hit me up Rob. With all the cars and projects I have done lately I got a lot of stuff left over all over The place and have a lot of other friends and shops who got stuff laying around

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    Don't really need any help putting it in. That's the easy part, especially with my skill level. Just looking for what works with what and where you can get easy power from.

    I may be interested in some of the left over stuff you have. Depending on what's there. This is where I'm going to have to figure which intake I'm going to use. Different injectors for car and truck.
    You still have the same number?

    Yup. Still the same number. I would use the truck manifold. They actually make more torque. You can always shave it and paint it to make it look better.

    That crossed my mind. Smoothing it and laying some paint on it. The longer runners are good for some down low stuff.
