Hey y'all. So for starters, I drive a '13 2SS/RS M6 car. As the car sits now it just has a few bolt on parts, this includes Longtubes, Fitech low ram manifold, and a K&N intake with of course the only mod staying after going turbo being the manifold. I intend to start with the cam first and invest into fueling and the huron speed single turbo set up later on along with various driveline parts. Here's the list I've compiled so far...

CHE bronze bushing kit
PCE279-1022 speed master head studs(anyone have experience with these? they are like a 1/4 the cost of ARP)
#212-CHETrunion
LS2 timing chain dampener 12588670
Katech C5R timing chain
Chromoly pushrods
BTR stage 2 turbo cam with .660” platinum dual valvesprings and titanium retainers
What head gaskets is everyone using? Stock LS3? LS9?
What lifters are you guys using on a high horsepower/boosted application. I've used stock LS7 lifters in my past two cars with success but not sure if they're up tp the task with this one.

My very end goal is 650-800whp, this is by no means my first rodeo but my first boosted V8 so I'm pumped. Please fill free to chime in or add suggestions!

The speedmaster studs are junk, had a set and had one snap at 70 ft/lbs. Spend the money on 8740 arps

Ls9 headgaskets

"Cadillac" racing ls7 lifters in my car.

It all looks good though

+1 on the ARP studs. Not a good place to cheap out on.
