Nothing big at all.. Why wouldn't you want to do a stall?

Well right now im not ready for a stall. Im just wanting to get the 243 heads and cam in. After i get more money then I will go with a stall and cam. I just got the car so I pretty much am limited on what I buy.

do the heads, keep doing bolt ons, and work your way up to a stall/cam combo. be smart about it.

A stall should be your first mod, then go from there.

Yeah, later on down the road you may wish that you have gone bigger. Honestly, I would do bolt ons, then stall, then a cam.

For sure stall Isnt going in then do heads, you stock intake manifold is worth 300 even tho it flows good you could put the 300 towards a fast 90 or bigger intake.

My 2000 camaro put down 390/391 with Texas speed Prc heads and fast 90 intake with the stock cam

My car had an LS6 cam with stock stall for a while. You can certainly drive it that way. Really you could potentially drive a lot of cams with the stock stall... is it optimum from a performance standpoint, not particularly. But overall it depends on your priorities.
