Well those cams will hit the pistons with a head that is milled at all so I wouldn't recommend using those cams with heads I have the ms4 and prc 2.5's and I love the set up but I have a 3cc valve relief you'll have to do that unless you want to bend valves.
But I do love the set up and I would go with that...

Like said before, if you don't want to flycut the pistons, stick with the Patriot 243's.

Th only ones that will clear with the TREX or MS4 is the PRC LS6's with stock valve. Patriot can also set you up the same way CNC'd unmilled castings with stock valves. Livernoise and TEA are other companies to look into as well for there CNC'd LS6 castings

how about leave the cam you have in, and pick up the ls6 2.5's. You may see a gain of 10rwhp up top with a new cam over what you have now. I made over 430 to the tires with almost the same setup. It is a great street car and fun at the track.

With the money you would save you can start putting money away on the side for a FAST.

Bigger is not always better
