We call him Mixerda!! I think all he lacks now is an intake swap. He's got the cam, headers, exhaust, cutout, TEP trans.

Oh and the vid of his car camming does not do it justice! I've heard it in person and my pants got very tight!

don't bother swapping cams until you get a better intake manifold on there unless you just want the sound.

yes they do, I agree they're overpriced and the profiles aren't exactly optimum for the 5.3 w/ cathedral heads. However, if you do a traditional style cam you have to replace lifters, pushrods and pull the heads/ intake etc.
