Cam support
Hello all,
I have a 2006 ls2 m6. I am planning on doing long tubes, an AA kit with 4.00 pulley and a BTR stage 2 v1 cam. So far I have the pushrods and springs that come in the cam kit, a melling 10295, the 1 to 3 bolt cam gear conversion with a new chain and the CHE trunion kit. Is there anything else I should consider before I throw it all together?
thanks, Ben

Add the Racetronix wiring harness to the boost-a-pump included with the A&A kit. My local shop is recommending to not get the injectors included with the A&A kit and go with FIC 660 injectors. More expensive but less issues... apparently. They also recommend getting the direct drive belt setup right off the bat if you think you'll ever go with a smaller pulley. Nip any belt slip issues in the bud. You're going to be close to the limit of the fuel pump and boost-a-pump combo with a cam/headers/A&A kit.

Man, yall be careful with those boost-a-pumps, their great until they arent... I had one fry on my C5 and that split second it did was all it took to blow the ringlands to bits. Food for thought. I cant tell ya how much I wish I'd have just spent the money and did a fuel system rather than take that gamble. Its worth every penny.

The Racetronix harness is a great upgrade for any car. I'd skip the BAP and either replace the in-tank pump with a higher flowing Racetronix pump as well: https://www.racetronix.biz/k/fuel-pu...-e85/tu475-450

Am I the only one afraid to have anyone pull the gas tanks to install a new pump? Besides the price, I'm worried something would break, particularly in the crossover tube, which parts aren't easily available for anymore. Maybe it's a non-issue... I'm pretty good at finding things to worry about.
But if you have a lot of patience, it is doable without breaking anything.
