I know it's 2017 so please bare with me... I have an 02 M6 Trans Am WS6 with 52k. No mods other than the SLP catback and skip shift eliminator. As of 2 days ago, I have a really ugly tick coming from the passenger head. For a while I've been wanting more power, but nothing crazy because I want to baby this car until I'm old. I hate the idea of riding around on a bad valvetrain part, and I don't want to have to go in there more than once, so I want to just go ahead and upgrade while its open. I've read PLENTY of threads on this, but nothing that pertains exactly to my situation. Since installing heads and a cam is just a bit past my abilities, I'm going to find a reputable builder in the southeastern VA(Richmond-VA beach) to put it together and tune it for me. In order for them to do so, I need to know what I need because if I say, "just build it to be a good DD", they might build it differently than I'd expect, thinking their version was perfectly fine. I just want the second opinions from the forum. What I'm looking for is a perfect head/cam package that will provide good low end torque because I don't want to be up high in the revs often. What I do know, is that I will be throwing on the FAST 92 intake/TB, higher flowing injectors, balancer, and LT's. I just need to know the crucial information about the heads and cam. please don't bash, it's best I try to get information from the guys that have done it over and over to find a solid combo.

Thanks, Alex.

I would suggest a set of Tony's sportsman heads with a very mild cam. Make great power without sacrificing DD comfort.

I agree with Darth, Tony will set you up with a great package, would also
suggest a Warr, or Holley 92 TB, the Fast TBs don't seem to have the best
reputation for ease of tuning.Check out the just completed & tuned
MMS 223 build in this section 466RWHP & 422 lb ft with a 227/232 Cam.
Cam Motion something like 225/230 114+3 would drive very mellow
could still hit 420-440 RWHP with attention to details.
Good Luck

I agree with Darth and Navy. Tony is an awesome guy to work with and will set you up right.

Is it valve train or just an exhaust leak at the header flange?
