I would suggest Straight Line Performance!
Talk to Big Mike, and explain for him what you want exactly.
With a cam you will need a dyno tune to extract all Hp from it, and make it run the way it should be.
Second make sure you also upgrade your pushrods to chromoly for like 90 bux, upgrade your timing chain to an LS2 for like 40 bux(you dont need to buy the sprockets,just the chain), upgrade your oil pump I bought a melling oil pump and I kept the high pressure spring it! I luv the extra pressure and volume!
What kind of cam are you putting in there?
Good Luck
