at the time my truck broke down, i was the only one working, funds werent really there, so i had to settle for the same setup i had before, and i figured atleast mill the heads for $75 before the motor went in...... hopefully next year i'll be able to get some LS6 heads like txsilverado, and hope they help me out!

You could probably get there N/A in your truck with some patriot stage 2.5 5.3L 59cc heads & Fast 90/90 setup.

But to answer your queston..it takes $$. LOL

true i had these on the setup before the l92 swap, but i ran the vic jr, which i still think robbed alot of low end tq. and a tag of upper power.. i wanted to at lease try the truck intake or tbss intake, but i was set on l92s soooo thats where i am at now!!!!

yeah, skeet im pretty sure some cutouts will help out alot, a setup like yours needs to get rid of some air quick.... and you are right a very good night in the negative DA will also have to be achieved...

good cause i just found a dual set for 200 smack-a-rooos!!!! with Y pipe and all necassary fittings and such !!!
