ya those durations are a bigger cam than I need, I just started looking at the BTR stuff today, the stage II might be better. Based on my research somewhere in the 22x/23x durations would fit this combo better. But then again what do I know231/244 112.5 hmmm
What intake manifold would you run?
I hear good things about the truck intakes especially the TBSS version. I've heard better things about the LS6 intake over the LS2.
I think the 231/244 will want a 3600+ converter.
I'm gonna ramble a bit now. I think something in the upper 220s on the intake/ and mid 230s on the exhaust might fit with your 6300 max rpm plan.huggerorange73 aka Mike has a stout LS2 C6 that has run high 10s maybe he could chime in with his thoughts. I think he might be running a Spinmonster cam which was pretty popular on CorvetteForum.
6L80 and a 2.56 gear on a MT 275/40/17 DR (26" diameter)4L60E and a 2.73 gear out back on 26" DRs?
The Dorman is the functional equivalent to the TBSS intake just with a lower profile. I know a lot of LS guys have argued over the dorman or ls6 intakes performance. Honestly any of the 3 would be a upgrade to what I have, but I also feel from a performance standpoint a unnecessary one. Right now the only reason for me to swap intakes is hood clearance.I hear good things about the truck intakes especially the TBSS version. I've heard better things about the LS6 intake over the LS2.
Is the Dorman still available? I know when I was looking for a LS6 intake mani for my 71, the Dorman version wasnt available anymore.The Dorman is the functional equivalent to the TBSS intake just with a lower profile.

yes, but the price has shot up considerably the last year or so. Think they are going for around $900 now, for that money you could get a used TBSS for cheaper, or spend a little bit more and get a FASTIs the Dorman still available?

Only the lower sections and the wheel wells were bad so I decided to do half panels to save as much good steel as possible. Time wise that was a mistake, it would have been faster and less finish work just to do the full panels. A lot of this metal finish work is due to how much welding has gone into this panel. The lower style line had to be moved to match the rest of the car and then my decision not to mess with the door jamb caused the slice up the center of this area of the panel.why not replace the entire quarter, or was it not bad enough to warrant that?
