Hey guys.

alright i have been trying to put my list together for an order from summit.

my list:

cam- COMP Cams 54-424-11 212 int./218 exh 115 lsa

valve springs - LS6 yellow springs

still looking for 7.4" pushrods

exhaust- i'm really having a hard time selecting a set of headers. I know the Thorley tri-ys would be the best but they are like $600!! which wont fit my budget for now
I have found a pretty good deal from Edelbrock

http://store.edelbrock.com/65683vict...itiononly.aspx

or these

http://store.edelbrock.com/6622testu...ackfinish.aspx

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BBK-1694/

i know i have read some where that the 4th gen f-body headers will work without too much trouble, but ...
does anyone have any recommendations what headers i should go for? i can justify $300ish but dont know if i can swing $600. or should i just wait and run the stock manifolds for now?

and lastly i'm gonna be lazy and order mount adapters from summit

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TRD-4572/ i think these are the same as the diamentions as the ones you used above? just want to make sure i wont have driveshaft issues.

thanks for all the help!!
