It's not always just about peak horsepower gain... it's also what the increase is throughout the rpm range. It looks like you picked up some nice gains overall. Someone made a comment about swapping intakes. I thought that the truck intake manifolds were "better" than the LS6 intakes.

Stock Z06 springs are made for lightweight valves, not heavy stock valves. You need heavier duty springs like Comp 918s to work on your heads. That looks like valve control problems to me.

Hmm.....I never thought of that. I just swapped the springs since I knew they were good for that lift cam since they came in my car. I backed the rev limiter back down to stock sothe truck will never see that high of rpm again anyway. Do you think it will hurt anything with those springs in there if it isnt being rev'ed that high?
