I just got this truck about 3 weeks ago. I just ordered CAI, PS lt's and o/r y, u/d pulleys, and a 150 shot from the zex kit that came off my stang. I just ran across a deal on a 05 lq4 and picked it up last weekend, tore it down last night and everything seems to be ok. I figured i would get some opinions on a good budget build.
My plans were to build it a little higher compression and jet my kit down to a 75 or so.
I found a ls2 cam for 60. And some lq9 pistons, not sure how cheap yet?.. And some ls6 springs and retainers for 75.
