Not really related to the OP, but I've been looking at h/c packages. I'm in a completely stock 98 TA right now ('bout to get the Rumbler in a couple weeks) and money is kinda tight right now so I can't afford both the heads and the cam. Should I hold off and wait til I can afford both, or do you guys think I'd be fine dropping the cam in and running it til I can afford the heads?
Any who, if you decide to go cam, It would be OK to run cam for awhile. There are plenty of people with running a cam on stock heads.

Now I see most of you guys are recommending custom grind. The thing about that is i really would not know what to get. How did you all decide on what grinds you wanted.
Any input appreciated.

If I were you and you have a stock ls1 short block I would use the thicker mls gaskets because with the tv3 and 5,3 heads you piston to valve clearance will already be really close. It should be in the .070-.080 range with unmilled 5.3 heads unless you get the 5.3s with the ressesd valves.
