I would recommend the Stage II 5.3 head. This will keep your budget in check and still give you great performance. Use a 6.0 head gasket. As far as the cam, we carry a 232/230 .580 .580 110 LSA that would go well with this set-up.

I agree with the 5.3 heads being a good choice for the money, but I'd look into a cam with a traditional split versus a reverse split for nitrous. Also that 110lsa is very nitrous unfriendly.

Sorry, missed the jugging part! Yea, the cam choice should be re-thought.

ok so im going with the 5.3 heads but what cam if i going to be spraying n2o?
and i still want the cam to make good power when i running around not spraying cuz this is my everyday driver

I would either choose the TSP231/237 or the FMS F13 on a 114 +4, both are great cams (I've had both) The TSP cam is priced alot better than the FMS cam.

will the tsp cam be streetable also?
and by the way gomer u probably know me im from hoover al and good friends with tony ive ran with u a few times at steele and such and on the bhamfbody and bhamracing board

Yep.. I remember you, there aren't too many Gold WS6's around. I daily drove my car for a long time with both cams. I'm installing a 231/237 in a car tomorrow for a guy in Bham, you could meet up with him and drive it if you wanted. Either one of those cams are very easy to live with every day... with a good tune.

im in mooresville, nc right now going to nascar tech but a buddy of mine has a 5.7 with the 5.3 stage 2 heads and the 231/237 cam and its fast but i just dont like the way it feels it dosent feel fast but he also dosent have it dyno tuned but mine will be dyno tuned either when jason from tsp comes to terrys new shop or up here at more performance in charlotte nc

lopingoldws6

i really like the feel of a lot of low end torque
is the 231/237 gonna give me that?

I have unported LS6 heads on my 6.0L and a traditional split cam with a 110 lsa. On motor, mine makes good power/torque (up to 410HP/400TQ now) - enough to move my 3,700# car to 11.5's @ 116+ in semi-good air.

I have heard from others that the tight lsa is not good for the spray, but when I had the cam ground, I was told with the extra cubic inches the 110 would be fine for up to 150HP shot - is that so - opinions?? Not trying to hijack, but thought it might help all in this post to explain the statement made above
