Question thoughts on this H/C combo?

its an m6 02 SS, full bolt ons, TD's w LT's

I rarely drive the car, once a month maybe when I wanna cruise, wanted something under $2000 (parts only) or just about that when all is said and done

I was thinking TSP's CNC LS6 heads with duals comp springs and the TSP MS3...
one question though, I am looking for more mid range, stop light to stop light power....is the MS3 to aggresive for that kinda of driving? WIll I need to flycut??

Thanks

MS3 = high rpm (7000), you'll want rod bolts with this cam as well. You would also need some gears with this cam, like 4.10s. No need to flycut with TSP's LS6 heads. You sound like you want more low-end on the street to get rolling quickly as opposed to building it for all out power at the dragstrip.

why did you buy it?

Check out this guy's car. Nice performance throughout the rpm range.
