Thanks for the info guys. I have a hotwire kit I bought for my last Camaro SS that I hope to use on this pump. My buddy said it would work. I may go with the Walbro and drill the hole like you did. Since you guys revived my thread, anyone have a link to some 42lb injectors that fit a tbss fuel rail?

My 6.0 made 403/391 to the wheels with a 230s cam, tbss intake, b.o.'s, and stock heads. That was with a second gear pull on 31.5" tires. Your setup should be in the neighborhood.

I'd save the mill/head gasket money and sock it away for some ported heads. Just such a little bump in power for so much work.

Thanks guys. My 243's are already milled from my last build. They're stock other than having .030" cut off. I hope to throw better heads on one day but I'd go with squareports next time.

I'm going to paint the 6.0 block in the next few days and I'm ordering a quart of POR15 for the K-member/frame while the motor is out. I want this to be the last time for a while lol.

Not yet. I still haven't had time off to mess with it. Luckily, I walk to work in about 7 minutes lol. Hopefully it'll get done in the next few weeks and I'll post carnage pics. I never made a build thread for my old LS1 but I may on this one. Thanks for the interest.
