If it's a 5.3, those LM7's were rated at 295hp. You might have around 315rwhp with listed mods.

That's a monster cam for a 5.3, how did you end up picking it? 400 to the wheels in a 5.3? I say no replacement for displacement.

How high of a stall are you running? That cam has alot of exhaust bias for a NA cathedral port head.

The stock 5.3 heads are holding you back as well.

What would you say to upgrade to? I had a lead on a good deal for some 243's that were ported and polished but didn't jump on it cuz I was told they would lower my compression ratio unless I went boosted.
