I plan to add the LT4 HP pump and injectors at some point (already have ZL1 in tank pump), I’m not sure about a cam. I would prefer a grind very close to stock but with a larger HP pump lobe to help with fueling for E85 and/or increased boost. What are your cam plans? I guess it would be a shame not to go with a little more aggressive grind given the time and effort involved in doing the swap. I just don’t want to impact drivability or deal with collapsed lifters, bent pushrods, etc.
I’m on the fence regarding the rest of the short block but, if I yank the motor to do a cam, I will likely drop in some forged pistons while I’m at it.
I’m enjoying reading this this thread….anytime things start to get out of hand mod-wise, I’ll go back and re-read your earlier post. I can most definitely relate!

I haven’t gotten that far yet...I just know it’s the path. I did all of this stuff before so, I guess I would say that I would opt for a “blower cam”, but truthfully, I would get the advice and recommendations from Jannetty, Pray, and Laynlo.
Having done all this before, I love the sound of a cammed car.
I would also go with all of the surrounding components at the same time. So, being in the motor, pistons, rods, bolts, whatever. For me, once I get in the motor, I would want it done right.
