Default Daily Driven 6 Speed WS6.

I definitely want a bigger cam, boltons, and tune. The heads or not... whatever. I definitely prefer more power then not n/a. But staying cam only + nitrous would save me a lot of cash. I am not a HUGE fan of nitrous so I would prefer to go no larger then a 100 shot. BUT!! The heads have to come off when swapping valve springs and all that good stuff anyway.

What are stock valvetrain parts selling for anyway? How about stock LS1 heads/intake? Figure I could spend 2k on valvetrain parts... and labor should be about the same anyway.

Any suggestions what might be a better method? Opinions on your own setups? Heads/Cam little nitrous? Cam/More Nitrous. Nitrous kinda scares me since it would be a brand new animal to me.

58k on the clock as well... and I would definitely give the car a compression/leak down test before any kind of spraying.

why would the heads have to come off to change springs?
