Default new to the site

as you can see from my sig my truck already has CAI,exhaust, and custom tune. im thinking headers and cam would be the next best step to take to more HP/TQ. this would most likely be the last thing i do to the truck performance wise. first off im looking for some opinions on a good set of headers that won't break me and secondly id like to get some ideas for a mild cam that won't effect drivability. ive read that an LS6 cam wouldn't be a good choice for a big truck like mine? thanks in advance.

there are severel headers to chose from. Theres LLP and Pacesetter are on the cheaper side costing about 500 for headers and y pipe. The cam. maybe something in the low 220s to help keep you torque. The TR 220 is a good cam. Might want to look into getting a higher stall torque converter. Something around a 26/2800 stall will work out nice.

Get a 2600 stall and a 218/218 cam 550ish lift 112 lsa and use harland sharp 1.7 rockers and yellow LS6 springs. Good to go, oh yea if you get a stall a tranny cooler would be a must. BTW do you have the 5.3 or 6.0 that would open up a little more cam options to you due to more displacement.
