Check out this build we did, where we used our EPP blower camshaft. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com...Car.php?car=32

A set of good flowing heads will make more power, I don't see the logic in keeping the heads stock unless you can't afford a set. Bob

running low on cash for the heads. Have enough for the cam, just really having problems with specs on a cam. this is a daily driver but Scotts build is very close as far as parts used to mine. Think those specs will work, is it still appropriate for daily driver?

Yes, this cam will work just fine. We have it in a lot of vehicles that are used as daily drivers, such as this Hummer if someone would buy it... lol

I have heard that a good clean up job on the stock heads port and polish can flow some decent numbers for an sts setup.

My untouched 6.0 heads are doing a good job so far, making over 900 HP at the crank on 15psi.
