Might put LS9 Gaskits on there to bump up compression a lil bit
and custom cams are a lil pricey from what ive seen

there not much more, or just get a off the shelf carb cam but the btr stage 3 will work fine anyways.
ls9 gaskets are the same thickness I believe
ws6 store has .45 gaskets witch will help a very small amount witch is what I’m going to be running with 243 heads witch will bump compression a little over 10.5:1
