thats what im talking about! my car traps 114mph now, i wonder what it will be after a cam like these? i guess ill flip a coin on the cams, x2 or x3.we are about to have emissions testing around here. i will have to see if is the sniffer or the computer scan. that will be the deciding factor. oh i wish you lived closer, i would love to ride in your car.thanks

So if I went with that comp 921 kit, i'd just have to get the pushrods? What about this double roller timing chain I hear about and LS6 oil pump?

What about lifters and rockers?

Just do a search for a user named SlyWS6...and he's just one out of a few lately. He was getting away with it for a while and then BOOM! Now if you install better rods/rod bolts then you'll be fine to 7500.
