Cam Purchase
Im buying a cam as we speak, Im trying to get all the necessary parts as well, Heres what I have got so far.
TSP 228R on a 112LSA
LS6 Ported Oil Pump
Comp Cam 7.4" pushrods
PRC Gold Valve Spring Kit
LS2 Timing Chain (whats the difference between the timing chain, and the timing set?)
Anything wrong w/ this setup or anything I should change before I order it?

comp PR length checker is always a good $20 investment to make sure your with in spec
LS2 chain is all you need
I'd get a new oil pump pick up tube o-ring for $5
thats a TSP Ported/Shimmed LS6 right??? <<< good choice if so
whats the lift on the cam??? (i dont have access to tsp's website @ work)

the patriot golds are over kill
save about 75 bucks and opt for Comp 918's which are rated to .600 lift (actually under rated & are good to .625 lift)
better quality spring too IMO.... even though ill be running patriot golds LOL... after 15k ill be swapping in 918's (similar lift cam)

Its already ordered... I don't mind overkill. Can't wait to get everything put in. I also ordered the ASP crank pulley and a new bolt for it since I'll have the old one off anyway.

yuppers
try and see if a local has one in stock so you dont have to wait for it
keep us updated on the swap
ls1howto.com
walks you through it nicely
remember the fishing line to tie around the 10mm bolt for the pick up tube so you can fish the bolt out of the oil pan & not have to drop the pan

Make sure you know what the preload on the lifters should be for that cam. It has everything to do with how long your pushrods should be. What type of head gasket, and are you using the stock thickness. This also can have an effect on pushrod length. The only way to know for sure is to buy the compcams pushrod checker. Part #7702-1 $20.94 plus 2day shipping of $9.41 = $30.35. Because of it, I found out I needed 7.350. Well worth the money.

You better stay away from 918s they have been breaking lately. Go over to LS1TECh.com and do a search on 918s in the internal engine section. You'll be glad you did and anytime you can run a double spring go for it,it is not overkill and when people pull off their valve covers and 1 spring is broke and its mate is the only thing keeping the valve going thru the piston.
