If you're going to throw in head work you will need trans work very shortly after. H/C/I combos on LS motors will bring you up to 400+ at the wheels. With that much power you will grenade something in your trans for sure.

Yup. It'll be a freaking beast when it's done though!

i hope you got lots of time cam swaps a pretty extreme upgrade id probably go with a complete exhaust kit all the way back from the headers not just a muffler and a tip before you start messing with a new cam

I did the cam and spring swap in 8hrs. All by myself, I took my time to make sure it was done right. The work isn't hard to do, just a lot of work to do.

I contacted Comp Cams and they suggested a new Cam that they just started offering… They also suggested that I upgrade my valve springs and push rods. So about $900 smackers without shipping… Iʻm guessing its gonna be about $100??? 96816 Hawaii...
