Tsp stage 2.5 5.3 liter heads and cam package.You can have a variety of cams to chose from, i went with their ms3 cam.You can add the oil pump to it and the timing chain.it comes with the correct push rods and the springs on the heads.With the ms3 and m6 trans it should put you around 450 and it is not going to cost you a lot compared to other heads/cam packages.

Here is the link to their heads/cam packages.

We have several heads/cam combos making great power that won't break your wallet. Shoot me a PM with what you are looking to do with the car and I can get a combo spec'd out to meet your needs. You can also look on the website at possible head/cam setups as well!

Patriot and Texas-Speed are going to be your best bang for buck. For all the peripherals that either one of those companies don't offer... Scoggins Dickey.

Got all my stuff through Texas speed. H&C combo (cnc ported Prc stg 1.5 and 230/232 cam), ls6 ported and shimed oil pump, hardened pushrods, LS2 timeing set, head bolts, gaskets, and a fast 90/90. Got them all through the X-mass Sales. I spent $2400 for everything.

Wow! Good catch. I'm now going to kick myself square in the tail now for not paying attention at the right time.

Have you dynoed the car?
I was looking to get STS kit, but for a less money looks like H/C will make the same power if not more.

If I recall Strictly Performance has a H/C package sale going on right now for $2600 that includes pretty much everything you stated, including labor. I talked to one of the guys already (dont remember the name tho) and im pretty sure I will be taking my ride to them to work on mainly because its local here in socal and Ive heard they're a pretty reputable shop.

edit: read you bought your parts @ texas speed...congrats and happy modding!

Save your money and install it yourself. It really isn't that difficult.

Just nuts and bolts... but it is intimidating.

If you can do motor mounts then a cam install is about as easy as changing a window motor. Like Vrbas said, just nuts and bolts.
