Default Two kills in one pass

Friday night I was stopped at a red light when I noticed a red Lightning and a silver Subaru WRX throwing revs at each other as they stopped next to me at the light.When the light turned green they had a third participant in their race.The WRX must have been stock because he got a good view of the real race from behind.After an even start my Tahoe pulled to a truck length lead on the Lightning by 40MPH,at 80MPH the Lightning was hanging around about a length and a half back,he could'nt make up any ground and I lifted and braked at about 110MPH because of traffic.

whitt1 - Could those SLP rockers be used with and aftermarket cam or are they only able to be used with the stock cam? Another question, did you use the stock springs with the SLP rocker arms?

I'm running 02 LS6 springs,I'd check with the cam manufactuer before I tried them with an aftermarket cam,because they increase lift by 9% and speed the ramps up considerably.
