Unless you are road racing id leave it alone as it was designed to be put in a stock LS6 and go racing

Not with that 106 lsa...its gonna be peaky. Kinda like a trex, itll be mediocre till about 4000, then pull like a frieght train till it tops out. If you want a broad power band you need a 113 -115 lsa on a cam like the grand am cup cam.

This is right on. My friend did this set-up years ago. It's a nasty bitch. It oulls right to 7400. He made a little over 450whp with poopy mac headers and not a great tune. With a fast and good headers and a better tune I think it could make 470 or so.

Big duration with a very tight lobe separation angle...its gonna buck and surge down low. Even with a good tune, which is what makes a car driveable, its gonna be rowdy.
