Default Anyone running this combo

Absolute Speed 5.3L stage 2 heads 12.1 comp. with Texas Speed 231/231 .595/.595 112LSA on a stock bottom end. if so what type of power are you getting and have you had any issues.
I have decided that I want the stage 2 5.3L heads but am looking for the best cam for the car. The car is a 2000 SS M6 it has Pacesetter LT's, Edit, a lid, and off road Ypipe.

If anyone can sugest a better streetable setup then I all for sugestions. the car is not a everyday driver but will be driven often (mainly on weekends)

Thanks in advance,
Mark

Match the cam to your head flow #'s at mid lifts, or if you decide on a certain cam, match your heads mid lift #'s to that particular cam.

how do I go about matching the cam up with the heads. I have decided I want to get the stage 2 5.3L heads 12.1 compression. My goal is to get 450+RWHP out of a H/C settup, if thats even possable.

thanks
Mark

email a cam manufacturer and have a custom one made to your car and those heads.
and with that CR you will need to run race gas to get any kind of timing into it.

not if you get a cam builder to address the high compression and lower the DCR a bit...
