I haven't seen much in the way of driving impressions or dyno charts of the SNS 3 cam. Would it be "too big" for a mostly street driven car compared to the stage 2 cam? I like everyone else would like as much as I can possibly get lol.

I drive mine primarily on the street. It is not bad but I could see how it would be if you do not have a good tune. from 1300 till about 2800 rpm it its not all that powerful but once it gets up past that its all torque (400 ft lbs from 3800 up) I am currently running a rear end out of an auto car and I can say gears will help alot.

Overall I am extremely happy with how it performs, especially when the DRs are on. I do believe a new rear with some 4 10s will help me alot (get a real track pass in, so far best was 12.57 at 120mph with a 2.3 60'). I have been experiencing a little bit of regret not porting the heads or intake(could do it later). The street manners are all in the tune, since I put in a new IAC valve it has been running better (no idle surge or hover). I do love having 400+ ftlbs of torque from 3800rpms and up. I have been averaging about 17 mpg and that is with very very spirited driving.

Need a little help with my setup. Ordered the sns stage 3 package for an ls1. Planned to go cam only but lucked into some used prc stage 1 ls6 heads. I know its a pretty high lift cam and I don't want to run into ptv issues. Stock mls gaskets? arp bolts? Studs? Alper motorsports studs?
Want to get it all ordered so I can throw it back together

It depends on if they have been milled. my ptv clearance was as follows: The exhaust is .124 and intake is .148. that being said that was measured with stock unmilled heads and a factory mls gasket. your best bet is to measure. end of story.

That said, valve drop on a Stg. 1 LS6 PRC head should be(read should be) identical if not within .005" of factory.
This would allow you to run the SNS Stage 3 camshaft with no issues if this is the case.

Moser 9"
Nitrous Outlet 90mm plate kit with a "200" shot to start, may jet it up to a "250" shot
