    i would go LT's and then get a little bigger cam than the ls6 cam.
    Name: Mark,
    God created turbo lag so nitrous trucks could have a chance.

    go headers now. theres much better cams out there then LS6. also heres question can you really afford either? either mod is going to cost you a tune.

    a cam swap is more then just a cam. its springs and most ppl do pushrods. then you have a tune

    Lts will lean out your setup so youll need a tune

    so your 400 bucks isnt enough unless you have more money stashed

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    ^^^ what ls6 said, I get free retunes, also the reason for getting the ls6 cam is because I can get a whole kit for around $400 which is what i'm getting back from my taxes.

    i was going to get long tubes with my tax return but decided a 3000 stall would reduce my times by more than the LT's would.

    I already have bad traction probs so i'm steering clear of a stall till I get DR's.
