hey well i have a cam 212/218 lt headers intake 2500 stall which im switching to a 3000 soon and all the small stuff now im looking for more power... if im not wrong i have 799 heads with a minor port on the intake side but my truck just isnt doing it for me... i need more power what can i do? i want heads just dont know if to port and polish these or buy aftermarket ones... i hears trickflow makes good ones and my couzin said he would do arp... what set of heads would give me the best result? thanks.....

 

If your cam is part number #60510 on the lunati website you are only getting .531 lift out of that cam, If I were you i would upgrade to a higher lift cam with a longer duaration. Your cam is just hair larger than the Com Cams 'Low lift' grind if im not mistaken. Other will chime in im sure but if it were me I would upgrade cams to go with that 3000 stall u already have planned.

 

I would say the small bore 205cc Trickflows for 4.8/5.3/6.0 or If your looking to save some $$ the PRC stage 2.5 5.3 heads make good power...
-You would be able to recoup some of the cost by selling your 799's......

 

thats true never thought about selling my 799s... thanks for the suggestion.. and evil eric yes thats my cam... never thought about a stall untill now.. but y is it that i need a bigger cam if i want a bigger stall? im sorry this is the first cam ever so i thought it was good but guess i could have gone bigger...so i guess 3000 stall has to wait till bigger cam?

 

Swapping in a junkyard 6.0 will give you much more power. I would do that before spending any more money on the 5.3 if you plan to stay naturally aspirated.

 

sounds interesting but how much will that run for? i guess i will just have to find out huh... but verry true i guess i should put a 6.0 before i continue... do i need the entire engine? can my intake and cam and heads all that stuff work with it? sorry dont know much...

 

All you would need is the 6.0 longblock. All your accessories and intake, etc will swap over. All in all if you're doing the labor yourself I think it can be done for under $1500, depending on mileage and condition of the engine, LQ4 vs LQ9, etc.
