Wait, you got ALL of those mods listed above for $100.00...or just the cam/spring kit for $100.00?

I recived the full Exhuast,Cam and VR intake for $100.00. Only had to shell out the $$ for the Yank 3600. Friend had the exuast and inake on his car and had the cam still in the box and ended up selling his car. The $100.00 was to cover the labor for pulling the exhuast and intake on both car's and chaning them over.

The ASA cam doesn't have any more lift than the stock LS2 cam, so it won't take advantage of ported heads as well or make as much power as say our V4 cam. I'd definitely recommend a Fast 102 intake in conjuction with a set of ported heads like PRC or before if you can't afford both. Feel free to contat me with any questions you may have, thanks.

I understand and that's a heck of a deal for sure, but just wanted to save you some trouble or money doing it all at once. We can have your stock heads ported by PRC and our cam would compliment them well

My opinion is go all out with after market heads....by the time you do everything to the stock heads + labor, etc. you will be just a few hundred $ less than some good after market heads. And in 3 months you'll want more.

Save some money in the long run, and do it right the first time, that way you wont be paying for labor again, and new aftermarket heads !!!

Labor is no charge for me. Reason I asked about heads is because I didn't want to start yet another H/C thread. But since we are there....

Trick flow 225s are probably the best after market heads for the LS2, without spending an insane amount of $.

also to add to my last post about the combo, With that combo, ur about 70 short of a Z06, however I spray, and i know an ls2 can handle the spray a whole lot better than a H/C/I-- Z06, so its a good combo to spend money on....

Gotcha. So its not even worth buying the bare heads if there only $500.00 cheaper. The car runs great, Pulls great too. you can deff feel the torque increase with the mods, Cant seem to keep the tires from spinning
