Default Cam & Headers

I have a 97 Trans Am WS6 with a LS3 swap. What will be the best choice of headers that will fit and what is the best cam selection for stock heads? Really excited about the LS3 platform, just not expert about it yet. . . . .

We have some really bad *** grinds for LS3's that have no problem making 480+ at the tire cam only and still drive really really well.

As far as the headers, being a LS3 doesn't really change anything. I vote Kooks.

I like American Racing Headers and check out Geoff@EPS or one of TSP's LS3 grinds. You can call Geoff on the phone and he can spec you something custom for your LS3.

I have the kooks 2" with my TA, but 1 7/8's will do just fine too!
