Old setup (with TRak cam).

Here's catted y-pipe with cutout vs. open headers.

Gotta ask you a question here. You're willing to spend $1,200 on a 90/90 which might help a little regarding peak numbers over changing the cam for $200 and making much much more than the 90/90.. Why?


Patrick. That is very interesting. We'll leave that for another discussion I guess. I do have some questions regarding your system.

How about a set of TFS heads?

I see A LOT of 430-440 RWTQ numbers with TFS head, even with LS6 intakes.

Not to mention the nice power bump.

because its not $200 to swap the cam. its $400 for a cam and then labor and any parts that go with the install. not to mention i just put this cam in 4-5 months ago. thus i would like to build around it and not start again.

cam choice is more likely to help vs the heads. if you are doin almost 400 NA..

exactly....

my 5.3 milled patriot heads and 226/226 cam put down 405/400 thru a 9 inch and TT2's..... you need more compression.
