I had a buddy who had that cam and it ran pretty good. Made 418rwhp with stage 1 ls6 heads. I have the stage 2.5 5.3 heads and when I had the Tv.2 I made 435rwhp. Mine is a daily driver also.

I've already got a bid from TSP for all the stuff I want, same cam and heads. If you're rebuilding, then you might as well replace lifters and lifter trays too.
