LS6 Cam in LQ4
Thought id go ahead and say that this has probably been asked before but wanted to make a new thread so i didnt have to revive an old one .
Anways, have a 2001 GMC Sierra SLE, LR4 4.8L Vortec. Bone stock engine with 114,000 miles, have flowmaster exhaust and K&N air filter. Have developed a bad lifter knock,since im going to be tearing it apart, might as well upgrade some stuff.
Current Parts list:
LS7 Lifters $115
LS6 Cam, Which is best for just a mild build and mild price, with the other parts ill be installing? Web site is appreciated or part number
Comp Cams Hardened Push Rods 7.400 $130
LS6 Yellow Valve Springs $65
Gasket Set. $50
Tune
Headbolts, havent priced any yet, whats good?
My budget is right under $1000 and would like some left. Questions so far, is what specific tools will i need for this project and is there anything else i need to get other than oil etc. Also is there a build thread or how to over this allready so i can get some good pointers?

You can find Trickflow 7.4 hardened pushrods for about $86 at various online retailers, you can also find some hardened pushrods on ebay atm for $84 shipped. On ebay search for "ls1 pushrods" and you will see the one for $84 I am talking about. You are welcome I just saved you some cash vs the comp pushrods.
Buy me a sammich and we will call it even. LOL j/k.
