Default I need your opinions, please.

I would like everyone who reads this to give me their opinion. I would like to know about how much power this setup will make? (p.s. I am looking for torque.)

Ported and polished heads, headers, comp cam 208/212 112 lsa, and maybe custom programing.

Please answer me with your opinions and suggestions.

What engine size are you starting with? I think these mods will give you close to 100 hp over stock power, provided head porting comes out well.

you must have a 5.3 or 4.8 truck right TRUCK?

then it will need a new program for a heads/cam LS1. You guys have a completely different MAF and ECU.

I have a bigger cam than you, and the only programming i could use is raise rev limiter, even my missfire codes have gone away after cam swap, once computer relearned everything, including my idle raise mod.
