Default SLP head & cam

I'm trying to decide what head & cam package to go with, and I was leaning towards SLP. Does anybody have some feed back on them. Or what head & cam should I go with.

From the experence I have seen they are not worth the money.I have seen a car with there H/C only put like 350rwhp! :U I know all cars are diff but I think you would be better off with a LGM cam.Give Lou a call he can hook you up. :thumbs:

I don't think you can go wrong with the Cartek packages, call Dave and see what he can recommend for you.

Did the car you are talking about have it dyno tuned with the LS1 edit, and what other mods did that car have?

Go with this heads and cam package IMHO. ( another 800 for the installation and 450 for ls1edit) and your car is throwing down some impressive hp. Absolute heads are top notch and the pricin is excellent.

absolute speed stg2 ls1-5.3l heads cam package deal

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time to get ready for spring and the upcoming race season. For the month of Febuary they will be running a package deal consisting of stg2 ls1-5.3l heads, any custom grind cam, hardend pushrods and head set for 1899.99.
