Default need opinions on my set-up

ok all my mods are in sig i just bought an nx maf kit.i have remote bottle opener,purge,walbro 255,fuel pump hotwire,kit,msd rpm window switch with 3,000&6,000 pills,ls1 timing tuner.i have to get a fuel pressure safetyn switch and that is all i can think of ? main question i have is with my 5.3 heads
which i have been told has a thinner deck than ls1 heads is there going to be a problem with spraying a 150 shot or should i go lower? also what are your opinions on running nitrous on a g5x1 112 cam? specs are 228/232 Duration & 588/574 Lift at 112 Lobe thanks to all that respond

As for your heads being a little thinner, I don't think that'll be a problem. the cam is fine also, imo, but will let the guys running it give the real scoop on it. Might want to get a bottle heater also, you'll be more consistant, and a/f will remain closer to optimum.

Your setup seems nice.

I almost went with the G5X1 cam, but wasn't happy about the smaller exhaust lift. Also I would think about going with the 114 LSA over the 112, just for the juice. Most will say with a small shot it will not make a difference, but the juice does like the higher LSA and the "lope" won't be that different.
Good luck!

i have a 125 shot with a .591/.571 112 cam i had the computer retuned and retarded the timing etc. now i can spray all day long safely, thats the main key just tuning your kit. also a 112 will noticable lope better than a 114
