Default need help with Heads and Cam Kit

I’m in search of a Heads and Cam Kit for my 2002 WS6. I’ve been looking at two different AFR/SLP combos, 12226 and 12227. My mods so far are a Dynatech SuperMaxx Header System and a GMMG Cat-back.

I live overseas, so it takes 2-4 weeks for shipments to arrive. The closest LS1 tuning garage is three hours away, so everything has to fit and work correctly. I can’t leave the car there for 4 weeks waiting on correct parts.

With this in mind, could someone help point me in the right direction? What combos are out there, and which work best?

Don't do slp, they are way over priced. Give HPE a call. (281) 448-1300. A buddy and I just did a stage 3 head/cam swap, and the car ran great before the tuning.

agreed. don't go w/ slp. if you search around you'll find the reasons why 9.9 out of 10 people will say this.

TSP is awesome HPE, many other sponsors on this site can hook you up. A lot of people have had success with Patriot heads, or PRC, Darts, etc.

Only the cam is SLP. The heads are AFR, either 225 or 205. Still not a good idea?

Dont do slp anything. You can get much better power with other cams. Check out all the sponsors websites and pick from there
