Default heads & cam question

Hi all,

i have the g5x3 cam in my car and i am about to buy a set of ported ls6 heads from texas speed and performance and want to get the optional competition valve job. Will i have any problems with this set up? Thanks for all your help.

i HAVE A SIMILAR CAM(ms3) AND I ALSO JUST BOUGHT THE SAME HEADS. THEY SHOULD WORK GREAT TOGETHER AND YOU SHOULD HAVE A STRONG RUNNING CAR.

I just wish that the competition valve job was available when I bought my heads.

make sure the heads are not milled.. if they are your valves and pistons might touch with the g5x3... that would not be a good thing...

Probably the only problem will be for the guy or gal you are racing. Your car will be faster and your mileage will go down from having more fun.

Enjoy,
