need help with a H/C decision please. im looking to purchase a H/C set up im jan but i plan on doing the install myself. here's what im looking at from TSP
Ms4 cam with the LS6 stage 1 heads
or the MS4 cam with the terminator heads (which requires flycutting)
now the price difference is about 800 bucks.
i know i can install the cam then take the car to tsp to install the heads and flycut the pistons. BUT is the 800 bucks worth the extra HP that i may get from adding the terminator heads over the LS6 heads.
They also said i can go with the MS3 cam and the 5.3 truck heads. Point being i want the most power so what do you guys suggest..
thanks

i think flycutting would be a good idea on either setup since it is so close.one very small hickup and it will be bad news.with a cam as large as the ms4 you may be as well off with the stage 1 heads compared to the terminators because of the small runners on the terminators.they would shine with a more torquey type motor like with a 228 cam or so but that is just my opinion.the large runners on the stage 1 will not lose much velocity with that big of a cam and they should put down some sweet numbers up top.get your pistons flycut and go with a tight lsa to raise your dcr up to 8.5 or higher if possible.
