That's a good price. When I was still building the 5.3 with 862s(got sidetracked with a deal on LS2), I was convinced I was sending my heads to Lloyd Elliot. See his price for heads, valves, springs, custom cam.. At this price you would think he has a goose that lays custom cams and springs but he's got a good reputation. These are your heads hand ported BTW.

When I was house hunting and lost out on a couple homes, I just told myself the house was haunted anyways.
Oh well.

The 243's did need to be done but i didn't mind that those CNC heads are catching my eye, that is the way i was going to go with a set of aftermarket heads. I wanted AFR;s, but they are just to much right now. This is going to be a budget build but i don't mind spending a few extra bucks on a good set of heads. The way i look at it when you buy aftermarket heads, just bolt-on them on no problem or worries.
Anybody here have any experience or hear anything on the MS3 cam? i have been watching some videos with guys using this cam in the 5.3's, it sounds awesome for starters, seems to be a good cam for these 5.3 from what i have seen.

Verdad Gallardo Shouldn't be a problem for stock 243s to physically run those cams. You would need spring, pushrod upgrades and of course check your PTV clearance, especially if you mill them. Are those the best cam for those heads in your application? Maybe not. You said you are going to run almost 200HP nitrous so you might want to start looking at a cam specifically designed to maximize that.

I know i said that i was going with nitrious but knowing me i would proably only spray it with a 100 shot or less. For some reason or another i keep thinking that i will blow it up with spray..
