People can do whatever they want. I have an air filter, heads, and a cam. Thats it. LS6's are effectively stock, with small'ish heads/cam.

As for the question, just do a search and find the bazillion heads/cam topics to see which ones you think would be best. I have no idea where "B-town" is (sounds like a boy band to me) but getting them from a shop within 500 miles might be a good idea if its an option. It just makes things easier when/if things go wrong.

I know he can, but im saying that it would be better to have the other bolt on's to compliment the heads and cam.
BTW:im not sure either but I think its baytown <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I was wondering if you had any dyno numbers with your setup. I'm real interested because I'm looking to go with the same setup. Thanx.

Stock everything except the heads/cam/air filter and the ASP underdrive pulley made 390rwhp. Quiet power, drives like stock, looks like stock, sounds like stock.
