    HAHA, thanks! I picked up a 2005 LQ4, and it came with LS2 heads and intake manifold... I figured I would mill the heads down to kick up the compression ratio(to LS4 numbers) and have them mildly ported.


    I also picked up a cam from PCMforLess, the Attitude cam as they call it. along with some new valve springs, retainers, pushrods, and timing chain.

    What are the specs on that cam?

    Love the stance and color for sure. Makes me miss my 73 that much more.

    This thing is amazing. I think I would name that thing the Dreamsicle being that orange color. Very very nice work and I like the specs on that cam. Do you have a rearend and trans picked out already?

    The cam isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'd go with more duration, but you have it. Run it til you decide you want an upgrade.

    Exactly that I was thinking.

    What are your total plans for the truck?
