Absolute Speed stage 2 5.3's...should I finally change? Should I spend the money and finally replace my Absolute Speed stage 2 5.3's with my 230/236 .592/.602 112lsa cam. It made 424/386...the last time on the rollers. I have a FAST 90/90 setup...Comp r lifters w/ 977 dual springs. Yella Terra 1.7's.......ummmm Walbro 255, Delphi/lucas 42lb'ers, LS1speed rails....yada yada yada
Anyway, do you think that this is a decent number through my 12 bolt w/ my hooker, off road y pipe, Loudmouth setup.....or should I look at getting a new set of heads, and a new cam.
I am down here in Florida just to let you know.
Thanks for any input guys!!

I am fine running a bigger cam....the biggest if need be. I got this 230/236 cam because this was the biggest I could run at the time (safely) due to PTV clearance.
I see T rex cars w/ heads and without for that matter....making as much cam only and way more h/c.
You guys don't see it being worth the money.

if its worth it depends on your bank account...and desire for more power.
i can't imagine you'd gain that much power swapping the heads.
but upgrading the cam could yield power. i'd spec out a new cam that fits with your current heads.
lobe technology has come a long way recently.
if nothing else....flycut

Stupid question...but what is the best way to go about finding what would fit and what would not fit???

I would say take it to the track. My car put down 350rwhp on a dyno and whipped a lot of 400rwhp+ cars (some ls1s). The dyno I was on is known to read really low. I say take it to the track.

Mike whats up.
I was a former A. Speed guy until Jay screwed us.
I will say being a former AS guy there have been some great improvements in cylinder head design. The ETP heads and TFS heads are a much more quality cylinder head.
The power throughout the powerband is a completely different story and the TQ is much greater.
These heads also have superior P/V clearence, and a great port both intake and exhaust. I had 3 or 4 sets of AS heads and the exhaust port was very poor on every head. I am down here in Fla to if you want give me a call tomorrow and I will get you up to date on the new products.
