they lower your compression...i would say no more than 375rwhp...but it depends on what you did with those heads...if they are stock you may not even have 375...you have to remember you are an automatic and they dyno considerably lower...the track numbers are what matter anyhow...

The reason for the 6.0 heads is I plan on a sts turbo or a d1 procharger when I can afford it. I have 100 dry shot but Im tired of refilling it.

I would stay away from the 230/224 cam if you're going forced induction. I don't think the overlap would be FI friendly. Great cam, I have one myself. I am putting down 403rwhp cam only in my Z06 with bolt-ons. Just my opinion.

The cam you listed isn't a good F/I cam.. too much overlap on a 111lsa.

Thank for the info guys, I hurt my arm at work so my buddy put the car back together for me wensday and it feels great . Thats about all the power I wanted with out getting crazy with it. It wheel hops very,very bad even at a 30mph kick , but at 60 it pulls alot better than I expected.So I guess Ill keep the dry shot since I wont have to use it that much around here. Oh yeah thanks for your help Hucky .
