get it set up right and call up wheatley performance for a tune. he can get it dialed in perfect no problem.
with those cubes and your weight i would go bigger than a 226 cam. i have a 226 cam and LOVE it. if i were a single cab i would have the 228 and if i were as light as a s10 i would be in the 230's. go bigger IMO. it will take some away from the bottom end to put the power where you can use it. a big smoke show lauch is useless. with a truck that light take some away from the bottom and put it up top IMO.

IMO the 226 is good for him since it's a daily driver, unless he would do a custom grind 230/232 .6xx/.6xx 114 lsa
Dunno exactly the lift specs, but Mike put a similar cam in a FBody and it made some damn good power for not being a bitch at idle. well i am still not sure about the whole ram air thing it would be nice but hard to rig up...and i havent really made a list yet i am still trying to finish the motor then i will start and i heard that you can get a harness from current performance for 750..you just tell him your set up and its on the way..

A custom dyno/street is what Erik's truck will get. Tuning is no secret language that is a god given right. Paying attention to detail, and taking your time is the key.

Is that for a complete harness that will adapt the body controls as well? Sounds like a good idea to me.

there's nothing to hide about this swap.
We/he hasn't decided on a stall yet. I was thinking about a 3200 or a 3K. It's a 5.3 block that's been bored to a stock sized LS1 bore. Speed Pro pistons, and stock internals. It's a daily driver/street beater. It'll never tow anything, except for a fat sack for the track it that.

Just call and ask Gunnar for the $425 heads. They're not listed on their site. ALSO don't think of milling 317's down that freaking much. You'll never get the intake manifold to seal properly (geometry will be off) and the cost to mill + shorter pushrods will cost more than if you just sell the 317's take that cash and add $200 to it and buy the new heads. Use common sense here
