next will either be another cam swap, or exhaust... the LS3 topend will be rather spendy and I want to do something that is not that expensive... So cam or exhaust...

Cam would be Comps XLX lobes 226/230 .605/.609

exhaust would be TSP 1 7/8 and a new ypipe...

or perhaps both evil:

one of those 2 will be my summer project when the wifey leaves for 3 weeks

Wanna do another exhaust for me? Wish I had the cash to throw down on a full exhaust for my POS but house mods are taking all the fun money

I think Id do the exhaust first, since that cam runs so well in your lowrider

Perhaps this fall or winter we could build another exhaust for your truck.

Yeah all the dyno sheets i have seen with 1 7/8 headers seems the most of the gain are in the midrange which what i am after. I rarely rarely ever go above 6k these days. Plus when i upgraded to the 3.5 ypipe i noticed a pretty decent midrange gain.

I dunno i will see how much i spend on our vacation in a few weeks. Hopefully some play money is leftover.

My next exhaust will be much easier. I've got a complete ypipe to tailpipe 6.2 exhaust and I'll probably go with headers and Y from arh.

Don't give the Canucks too much of your American money
