Help Me: Best Head/Cam Package??
Help Me: Best Head/Cam Package?? I want to do heads and a cam on my 2000 C5 BUT I am clueless as to what would do best, I do want a aggressive cam @ idle and I dont want it to peak over the factory rev limiter (so I dont know which spec cam to get) also should I just do LS6 heads with the cam or ge this package from Texas Speed? http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item...d=203&catid=47 (these are the 5.3L heads, 2.5 stage is that too much?? Fill me in with all the info you can I am looking to buy ASAP!

I've always had good luck with TSP. Good service and great parts at great prices.
They really do stand behind their product, which is something that is hard to find these days.
I'd give them my vote...

241s are stock GM LS1 head castings...243s are LS6 head castings...
806s were commonly found on 98 LS1 powered cars...
LS6 (243) heads out perform 241 or 806 castings...and once ported, they do really good for a stock GM casting.

FWIW, I just put a set of the TSP stage 2.5 5.3s on my car a couple weeks ago. Don't have the numbers yet on my new setup, but so far the car does run good.
I've seen folks make up to 460rwhp on these with the right cam...

ummmm am I the only one who saw he doesn't want to rev past the stock limiter? Mind me asking why? I can't think of a real good reason not to just raise the limiter and rev the engine higher.
There are so many H/C packages out there, I'd spend a few nights and just read this board, you'll be sure to get a few ideas.
Good luck with your mods!
