Thanks guys. Still have the 5.3 for now but I wouldn't pass up a good deal on a 6.0 if I find one.

Wondering what was the deciding factor for the GT7. Not so common a cam.

have you looked at possibly getting some better springs...the lift on that cam is really close to wut the springs can handle and if your going to up the boost you might start getting valve float...just my two cents....very similar setup just waiting for the blower

Henry (Stoichiometric) had the cam left over from his Radix combo. I looked up the GT2-3 and the GT7 on the LPE site and they seemed to have similar characteristics but the GT7 didn't have the overlap and less lift. Seemed like a good combo to thow in some LS6 springs and call it a day. Plus I saw that you and a few others had good results with similar add-ons and couldn't pass it up.

Oh you know it... I'm on the fence right now contemplating having a shop put in the Yukon LSD and gears or taking it on myself.
