Shifting house, so shifting parts!
Discussion
Got some odds and ends if anyone is interested. All unused. Brand new bits.
Also got some stock LS1 853 heads if anyone fancies doing some DIY porting or sending them to Rod Woods for CNC etc. Let me know.

Not sure whats in my top end, how do I find out and would the roller rockers (don't think I have them in already) mean another remap? and how easy are they to fit?
If you have no cam now, then they are just bolt on. Check coil bind afterwards if you still have stock springs. But 1.8's on my LS2 with stock exhaust gave me 360rwhp which is about 40rwhp over stock, though it was tuned as well as a CAI. Ideally any change should result in a retune, but it would be a minor change so you could leave the retune till the next time it was on the dyno. If you are going to cam it then they can throw a spanner in the works especially with the LSR cams which have high lift already.delmeekc said:
it's cammed, not sure but think it's someone knight, not sure was all hush hush when done, mid range cam, from what your saying I should leave it alone. Wish I has a list of what exactly has been done to my engine as would make life a lot easier.
Yeah best left as is. I agree with what you say. I would wonder how on earth I could do do anything or understand anything about what I had unless I knew whats in there.Nobody buys a computer, car, house or in fact anything these days without being told what they are buying. Still if it goes well enough and the price was right, perhaps the lack of information and knowledge is a small price to pay?

Im looking for a cam and valve train 223 cam might the one for me 
It almost certainly is
Comp part number is 54-457-11, LS1 273LR HR-112
272-280 adv duration
223-231 @ 0.050 LSA 112 lift 0.610 0.617
Well a 223 cam will still be a good cam for a daily driver but give me that little bit uptop
It will lope and you will definately notice it. In a 5.7 I think the 219/227 would be better.
It totally depends on what sort of driving experience you want. The 223/231 would be at the top limit for start stop daily driving.
The 219 would be getting to be the smallest Id bother with. They are pretty close in spec. I dont like huge cams and I dont like small cams
Just middle of the road ones.
Peak torque figures would be much the same just the shape of the curve would change between them, and not by that much. The larger one will have more BHP for sure. Both according to Comp are torquey cams so should be good around town.
I wouldnt like to tell you which one is best as its a personal choice. But you are less likely to go wrong with a smaller cam than a larger one.
