no problems what so ever, I wouldn't go more than a MAX of a 150. But others like to be conservative not because of the heads that isn't the issue, but the bottom ends reliability.

im gonna have forged rods and pistons, i wasnt going to go over a 200 shot but i was only gonna prolli do that once just to see what i could get out of it for numbers on a dyno, but mostly i would run 100-150.

oh......and yes thanks for all of your guys opinions and help, i was at my mechanics today and there was a guy there with his LT1 and he had like a 23x/23x i cant remember exactly but it was in the high 230's and it wasnt near as bad as i was expecting so im gonna go with the LE1 cam and hopefully i will make at least 350rwhp, that will make me happy, ill keep u guys updated when i start it, thanks for all the help.

no clue but it feels better with new tires lol.... also the stall I have in the car right now is just too small, have to get my other back in. I am going to try and go to the track in a few weeks to see what it runs, then I will have a baseline, and will tune alittle more.
