Default Decision...Heads and Cam

Ok, I thought that I had made up my mind on what H&C combo but I like to change my mind alot. The first combo I was looking at is Trick Flow:

The next combo was with a Comp Cam:

and RHS heads:

Another combo is the Edelbrock 2218 LS1 Cam which is brand new and will be released Jan 18th and the RPM XT heads:

Edelbrock claims 488 hp with this combo with NO computer tuning on a stock LS6.

I have looked at a number of other H&C packages like Texas Speed and Thunder Racing. What do you guys think? Are there any other good combos that I am over looking?

If you have the money you really can't go wrong with the trick flows or a set of AFR's. And you can always spec out your own cam but the one with the trick flow kit looks very similar to the one I had ground after spending countless hours researching it. Your link is to a ford 5.0 kit but I'm guessing you really want this one:

Yeah, I don't know what happened to the link. I never even looked at Ford 5.0 cams.

That Trickflow looks like a good kit, says it even comes with the roller rockers. I'm intrested in that, how much does it cost? Can't find the price.

That is bogus. You are going to want/need it tuned no matter which package you go with.

Search Summitt. There was a link on an earlier thread and it was a shade over 3 grand. I really like the results I have seen from these heads. They make power everywhere.
