any cam is gona run good with 243s and make more power over LS1 your heads, with no change in the way it would run. With the same cam anyway.
theirs not really a "bad" cam to run if you want to change to thous heads, so its kinda a stupid way to ask.

I run stock injectors with a TSP MS3 113LSA cam. I will need new injectors when I get the ported heads but for now the stocks are running fine. Although you may wanna get a new fuel pump. I have the Walbro 255 since my stock pump gave out at 75k miles, not sure if it's common but if your doing the cam may as well get that outta the way especially if you wanna upgrade the injectors later or port the heads.

my car made 441/406 with the same exact setup on 2 different dynos, so no... these are legit number and nothing out of the norm, i have different heads (prc stage 2.5) but i people are making better numbers on ls6 heads for some reason
