Am planning to do some upgrades on my 2001 5.3 yukon, while searching for some heads and cam kit i found the Patriot Performance GM LS Series 5.3 L Head and Cam Kits part no. 8420 in summitracing.com.

any one knows more about this kit, or any reviews?

Its a nice kit but way to heavy of a cam for a heavy truck. You'll need a pretty beefy stall converter and gears to go with it.

232/230 on a 110LSA......what the hell are you building something to sound like a pro stock car and have a powerband of about 1000 rpm? The biggest I would do would be something like a TR224 on a 114 with a 3000 stall and 3.73 gears on a 29" tires. If I don't turbo my wife's truck I am going to do the Thunder Racing Cheatr V.3 Keep in mind your truck is heavy, you need something with a broad powerband and lots of lowend to get that pig of a truck moving
