Who makes a good set of lifters?

GM makes a good set of lifters. You could even get away with stock LQ4 lifters. Or LS7 lifters. Or CTS-V lifters.

I just recommend new lifters cause you bought a higher mileage motor from a guy who thought it had iron heads and had a small eyebrow on a piston. It would be a shame to dump all of that time and money into a motor just to find out you trash the thing cause a lifter collapsed.

Heres what I have so far. Im not happy with the head gaskets though, theyre not the MLS gaskets. What do you guys think? Remember, I have aluminum heads with an iron block. Thanks

i personally would try and get MLS gaskets for 40 bucks they cant be beat

[txarkitekt]

Hell, even the metal Felpro gaskets you get at Autozone are decent ones.

What color is your truck, I may have seen it around? I'm in the Hockessin area.

[Sargen]

All black. I still havnt decided on a cam yet. One day I want something really radical for racing and then I remember I gotta drive it everyday. This sucks.

[txarkitekt]

Picking out a cam is like picking out a chick to be your girlfriend...its gotta work well with what you've got. And if its not the one, get a different one.
I have mentioned this cam in another thread: 234/236 .592/.598 112 LSA.

[Sargen]

Is that a custom grind?

[txarkitekt]

Yes. Its works well. I would go with a custom grind...like throwing the 112 LSA on a 110 CL with +3 advanced timing. That would give it a healthy sound at idle and let the power come in a little sooner.

But there is a cam that is close that is not a custom grind -- TSP v.2
