Default LS2 performance products?

I have a 05 ls2 out of a GTO it is carbureted and in a ford ranger desert

truck. It only has about 25k miles on it but they are hard miles !! I do 300

mile desert races running this thing through all sorts of conditions and wide

open for long periods of time. Im starting to get a little blow by ? smoke

coming out of my head breathers. So I have to fix that before It gets worse

or I blow it up. I really wanna do a cam and some

upgrades what would you recommend? im looking to spend around 2k-2500

and hopefully make this baby a lot faster but still RELIABLE .. what do you

think?piston, rings, cam, lifters, valve springs, pushrods, rockers? or should

I just do piston and rings cam and different heads? any help would be

greatly appreciated? thanks

You could do a lot with a good set of heads.22 hundred dollar minimum.Cam 400, also intake ported or Fast. Also you have your heads ported.Heads and cam will do the most for you.

You could have your heads ported, buy a cam and springs and just have your block work .Done Deal. TEA, WCCH....etc all do programs for your heads.When your done call Martin at Tick Perf. cams tell him what you had done and FIN.
