LS1TECH - View Single Post - better the heads requires less of a cam right

The project that did the heads was a C5 Corvette. The heads were first installed, then the cam later.

I was looking for a bit more power from the car without sacrificing drivabiltiy at all and the AFR cam that I selected meets those requirements. At first I was going to leave the cam alone, but decided to try and take the car to the next level. You are correct though, the car right now does have very good street manners and good low end power. I bought the cam from Joe at Corvettes at Carlisle a few years ago and have been very happy with it even though it is considered too small for many on this forum.

If you are going with heads, the AFRs are a nice head and should perform well for you. I would bump compression a bit by milling them. Contact Tony Mamo directly for advice, he can best provide input on how to set up the heads.
