i dont really know, haha, it acts like a stock converter when driving normal but will boil the 20s when i punch it from a stop. i leave the line at around 2200-2400 at the track and only spin about 20-30ft

just ls6 springs and you can run stock rods or just buy some hardened ones.

What does everyone think of TSP's MS4? 239/242 .649/.609 112LSA. Someone just told me earlier on another forum that if I ported my heads and did this swap with the comp "beehive" springs and decent converter, it would give me like 70rwhp and 50rwtq. Has anyone heard of this. I don't think it would be good for a truck. Do you?

Unless you're running a high compression 370 or bigger CID motor, DO NOT use that cam. It is entirely too big for a truck, especially for a 5.3 liter.
