Default quik tech question
Getting ready to do heads and cam install on the vette, here is my setup just checking to make sure it sounds like it will make decent power. And most importantly wont have any clearance issues, I have never ran 5.3 heads on an LS1..... Heres what I got
PP stg 2.5 5.3 heads
Comp 224/ 224 581/581 112
Stock bottom end
and the usual bolt ons headers,intake, exhaust, clutch

Thanks for any help, mostly worried about PTV clearance.....
