Default Custom Cam/ Heads and Nos installed....

Installed a Custom grind Comp XER 222/222 .563/.563 114lsa along with a Ls6 oil pump and ls2 timing set with comp lifters and comp pushrods. this replaced my old Custom grind 216/224 110 lsa

A set of 862 Heads Milled .030" Ported and Polished along with 2" Intake Valves installed with Ls6 Springs.

Waiting on the NOS kit I bought from bluecajun5.3 in the classifieds...going to run a 150 shot....

Just need to run some logs and send them to my tuner to dial in the new cam and heads and get a tune for the 150 shot at the track. This should hold me over until I decide what route I want to take with my 6.0 build... First impression of this cam: Pulls Hard!

More info to follow....

nicee. hows the comp lifters are they loud? my buddy has a set sounds like a sewing machine, most likely a pushrod length issue though.

You planning on hitting the dyno?

I just got the heads I bought from you installed like 2 weeks ago.

Sounds like you're going to have a monster of a 5.3 on your hands.

Lifters were loud for about 5 minutes but now they are quiet as can be.

Dyno is in the works hopefully in a few weeks. I love this new cam! Pulls extremely hard even on the old tune...and didn't notice much of a low end loss at all. Extremely happy with the swap!

How do you like your setup?

I am currently running a 2600 I6 TB Stall......I did however upgrade my gears to 4:10 over the 3:42's which made a huge difference. My shift extensions still suck but i have my eye on a 3200 stall.

Love it... more power everywhere and gained 2-3 MPG on the interstate .

With the cam and heads, even before the tune, I heard the words "scary fast" from one of my friends from about 3500RPM up. When you're the only one in the 45 mile radius that has a H/C setup let alone the only one that has it in a pickup, you're gonna raise a few eyebrows.

I think a dry shot and stall may be in the works soon though
