I have a set of lt just have to get them installed. I cant run the n20. They wont let me in the truck pulls with it. I was thinking a cam would do it with the tune and the lt's. Who would be a good one to spec the cam for me?

Anybody have any thoughts on these heads.

Patriot Performance #723-2029
GM LS2/LS6 Stage II Cylinder Heads
59cc Combustion Chamber
2.02''/1.57''
Assembled $1,285.99 pair

Patriot Performance 2029 Patriot Performance GM LS2/LS6 CNC Ported Heads

I do see they are a sponsor.

Maybe thinking this

Heads
cam
lt's
BB tune

Is 75hp about right or should I get a little more with these upgrades.
