Are you just not liking the performance of you current setup? IMO i would change out that cam to something with less split and ALOT tighter LSA, but that is just me...

I would go 6-oohh or just get much more cubes or just FI the avy.

Avalaches weigh over 5600 lbs plus you and anything you may carry, and you need some big numbers to get what you want. If you get AFR heads it seems to me you'll be 1/2 if not a little more to a TVS lets say, and that would really wake up the beast.

I have a 4.8 in my sierra with a couple of small mods. Note small and basic. One night I was racing a Escalade EXT "there Avy", and got him at every roll. He seemed to have a couple of bolt-ons like me judging by the noise of the exhaust, and factory 22's. None the less I could get 2 lengths on him pretty quick and hold it pretty damn good.
