Best combo of Heads and Cam
#1
Like the title says I'm looking for the best combo of heads and a cam that would help with power but also not lessen reliability. I plan on pulling a 5.3 out a parts truck I have. The motor will most likely end up in my truck if the motor grenades or it will go into a project car. I read the cam sticky and still don't know which one to go with and since I figured I'm doing a cam some heads would help things out. Any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Anything you touch you lessen the reliability. If you want it 100% reliable leave it stock.
243/799 heads with a 220ish cam is pretty reasonable to drive and makes good power.

What youre gonna get is alot of opinions
Youll need to do the research yourself as what atomic said might be too tame for you where as i may say its radical or etc
