    Hey guys. A newbie to this site. I am a member of other sites, but found this one very interesting and helpful...so far. Anyway, I am going to be doing a 4L60E shift kit improver (maybe Trans-go HD2?), Corvette servo, Billet 2nd and 4th, etc. Any suggestions on sites to purchase these? Haven't checked the threads on this site (or others) for members selling new/slightly used Trans-go or other kits. If somoeone has something to sell, I may be interested, so let me know.

    Also, I am investigating a cam. I know that certain rods and gears are necessary when upgrading to a pretty hot cam, so input is greatly appreciated here also. I want to go pretty hot, but not so lumpy it can't stay alive at idle. Any suggestions? I am also up for seeing what people have to sell here as well...

    Anywho--glad to be here.

    Welcome.

    What are your future goals; going FI or NOS, or always NA?

    I am not planning on doing FI or NOS. The truck is a weekend/play truck, but I want to be able to live with it. I don&#39;t think I will break-down the motor enough to do a port and polish, but I am entertaining the possibility of doing a new intake manifold to keep up with the 80mm BBK. I know that I will do injectors, fuel pump, cam, Westers 93 HOT tune, etc once I get my tranny beefed up... Any other suggestions?

    I would think a cam & / or stall would be the best route.

    I&#39;ll second OPT...great service, fast shipping, good prices. And you can get his stuff on Ebay if you prefer that route.

    I&#39;d also second the Nelson tune. You can get Westers. Or you can go with the besters. Sorry, had to...

    Thanks for the help guys. I am definitely going to do my tranny first so that I can feel more secure doing a cam, etc.

    I have already talked to a guy at Wester&#39;s. Since my truck sits in the garage during the week, I will be able to send my original PCM to be tuned--which is good since it already carries my stock crank sensor codes--which is to my advantage since I will not have to do a crank re-learn.

    I have also heard good things about the Nelson tune and Wheatley&#39;s. I know that it is better to have a live tune performed, vs. having a PCM sent to me.

    Are there any recommendations for cam settings? I know that I will have to do springs, cam gears, and rods. Do some of you have a LS6 hot cam? I want to go pretty wild, but not to the point where it beats me to death at idle...
