I am looking for a kit also...try TSPs stage 1.5 or 2.5 head and cam kit with the ported 5.3 heads or look at Speed Incs H/C package with the Patriot LS6 ported heads and comp cam.I am torn between these two at the moment...I dont think you will have any problem getting 400rwhp from either with some bolt ons.

TSP on heads and cams. From my research it seems to be "The best bang for the buck!"

I was looking into a similar setup as CALL911.....Let me tell you I almost thought I was dreaming....Cant wait for taxes....

Yea I think so too...just waiting for a flow chart on the heads to make my decision.Plus when you buy it you get a discount on the timing chain and oil pump and gasket set so its great....

I wouldn't go with the Patriots IMO. I just bought stage 1 LS6 heads w/ a 224 cam from Texas speed and got a great deal. I can't wait to install these. I have heard of Patriots not flowing as good as the one's from Texas Speed. Also Texas Speed uses actuall 243 or 799 Castings while Patriots dont. Go for the 5.3's or the LS6's from Texas Speed IMO.

I have heard that they didnt use real LS6 castings but now they do use real 243 castings...I really like TSPs pricing...jus waiting on a flow cahrt to make my decision
