You are going to have a 370 CI, right? Forged? You keeping the Yank 3200? You plan on keeping nitrous? Larger than a 100 shot?

If the answer is yes to all the above, go with a 224 228 115 XE-high lift lobes.

I am going with the same heads, but I was thinking of going the 72cc route. However, at the same time I am going with a blower (which one I am still tossing around). Unless someone corrects me, I don't think it would be too radical to go with 59cc, or at least I have been told be several people it isn't.

Okie02,
Do you have the 310Y Thorley Tri-Y headers? How do you like them? I am planning to install the 312Y (6.0 L, dual exhaust version once it comes out).

I have the Comp 54-412-11 Cam (212/218 .522/.529 114 with 5 degree advance ground in) in my 6.0 L which is a daily driver with no head work. I love the cam. Here is another post of mine on the cam https://ls1tech.com/forums/showpost....2&postcount=48 with some more details on the cam.

Also, if you plan to do the work yourself, here is a post that I made on doing the change https://ls1tech.com/forums/showpost....62&postcount=4.
