Default cam and headers combo??
I'm new when it comes to moding the 5.3 and i was wondering what would be a good cam/header set up that would be mild and not make me get 8 mpgs lol
i want to be able to feel it pull once i get out of 1st and second gear i hate how the stock set up almost just plato's out
let me know what your thoughts are!

It's on a 114 LSA with a split duration so it sounds a lot more aggressive than stock, but nothing crazy. Tuning can be setup for more or less sound. Hell most stock cam trucks sound way meaner with just the Longtubes.
This combo with proper tuning should net in the neighborhood of 75hp.
