What is the Dr X adapter?

Why the LS3/9 TB? The TBSS piece isnt good enough?
You must have been under a rock . . . . I'm giving you a hard time,. . .

yes. . . 25+ with the intake and TB swap alone. Nothing else. Intake is $150 new and bare
The 4 bolt LS2 style from a TBSS will work. . . but there are issues with it not opening all the way to 100%, or REP issues. The LS7 (silver blade) reverse opening TB works, but they're expensive. $300 + . . . it's a stronger motor
The newer LS3/LS9 TBs that come on the 09 and up trucks/vettes/camaros is $200 +- some. It's just as strong as the VETTE LS2 TB, but costs less. Keep in mind, the LS2 TBSS came with a LS2, but the TB is of the lesser grade . . .

Dr X harness - Make your own 8 to 6 pin conversion harness or buy one for $225 something from Torque Rush

LS6 cam - Don't bother with it unless you do your own tuning/mechanical work. There's way better cams to get your pig moving

Ok, good to know, LS6 cam is just a cheap alternative to stock, otherwise, i dont want to spend 400$ on a mild grind if the LS6 cam works well.

Nothing can be done to get the TBSS TB to open 100% then i assume.

if you can trust a regrind . . .50-150

used great condtion cams come up for sale all the time . . .

It's a hit or miss with the TBs . . . . I tried an 03, 04, and an 05 before selling those to get the new style.

Well, from what i have seen, the regrinds might not be a good thing since they evidently dont heat treat the ground surface.
