Default Ok so I just ordered...
My head and cam package from tsp, they said the heads are on backorder for about 1.5 weeks , but I went with the stage 2.5 5.3l heads with the Texas Speed Torquer v.2 Camshaft (232/234 .595/.598 112 LSA) with MLS head gaskets, do you guys think I will be over 400 rwhp with a tune? Is this a good set up (cam wise)? He said that if I change my mind about the cam I can call back and chage it within the next few days.

I ran the TSP LS6 Stage 1 heads with the Torquer V2 for about 6 months. Its a very good combo mine put down 390 RWHP thru an A4+ Vigilante 3200. You'll have no problems at all with a proper tune. I could crank mine up with an inch of frost on it and she would fire rite up and be ready to run in a couple of minutes or as soon as the windshield cleared. And it turned a best of 12.01 at 114MPH in the 1/4 mile.

Wow, good 1/4 mile time, I asked which would be the better combo and they said torquer v2 and the 5.3l heads so we'll see
