I was going with the PRC 2.5 5.3l heads with the Torquer V3 cam. Unfortunately my financial situation has changed and I have to sell the cam, which I already bought. Lots of people put down good numbers with nice flat torque curves with this combo. The MS3 cam need alot of revs to make power and the MS4 will require flycutting with all but the LS6 heads. . .and then requires rpms for power. If your car is a DD then the Torquer 2 or 3 with the 5.3 heads (they raise the compression) will be a nice street setup.

as much as id love to build a stroker one day chances are it wont ever happen

i was leaning towards the ls6 and xxx camshaft

would the stage 2 5.3 heads n the trq 3 camshaft be a better setup?
i know the trq cams have high lift
