Default Need Some New Power

Hey guys....after suffering my only Fox Body defeat....I decided that I gotta have some new power.

I need your suggestions on what I need to do next!

I recently purchased a LS6 Cam and a FAST intake. I am also running a 150NX spray.

What head choice do I need to purchase to make better power?

i say don't get that ls6 cam and get something else also.t2 or ms3 would be decent choices.on second thought i see you are a truck so i'd go with a smaller cam and a small runner/high velocity type head for tq.something like the terminator 200cc head or afr 205 or tfs 215 with something like a 228/232 on a 110 with xer lobes.you will want quite a bit of bottom end to get that thing moving and a stall also wouldn't hurt,something like a 3500 or so.

MS4? Not really familiar with that cam. Can you give me some specs? And does Texas sell it?
