ok fellas i just talked to someone at TS and i went with this 231/235 LSL lobes with a 114+3 i want to move the power band towards the top a little because the TQ does nothing for me. its fun to spin tires but not to spin when ur trying to hook. so i ordered this and next is springs, then pushrods, ls2 chain and a ported pump. ---

Have fun installing that oil pump! Lifters are not being replaced, you mean pushrods. If you aren’t changing the heads, calculating pushrod length is pretty easy without a checker. The cam is the only variable in this case, so in order to keep the geometry close to stock you need to know the base circle of the new cam. 95% of cam only installations will use a 7.4" pushrod. ---

Only saying because stock ls1 cam lsa for 98-00 was 116 lsa and 01-02 was 115 lsa and they hve zero cool idle thumpyness. an aftermarket cam with the same lsa will sound stock except for the whine of said blower ---
