a 215/218 but with big lobes. its a mix of a patrick g cam and an EPS geoff cam. should be pretty potent.

that sounds like a pretty nice choice for a 5500lb Tahoe. I think you'd really benefit from a 6.0 for overall driving experience though!

too much $$ for all that. if the noise is from a piston i was going to put new pistons and rods in it. cost half of what a 383 kit would run. plus i don't want to go to big to where i have to buy ANOTHER turbo. the two vids i post were from before i welded up the manifold the first time. it had a pretty good crack in it.
