yup go with the LE2 if you want the big performance, or the LE1 set if its your daily driver.

thats a little expensive for me right now, i was think about going with edelbrock heads and possibly cam to match itEDL-61909, would this be good to and still get decent gas mileage

ALIH
Those are excellent flow numbers. The 195 cc runner isn't too big for a daily driver. You will need to port match the intake manifold. If you use those heads with a good set of headers and, say, an LT4 cam Kit, You should see HP numbers in the 400 range. Good luck.

The factory cam is like 204-213 duration @ .050" so based on that a 220-230 @ 050 would be pretty safe. About 15 degrees more than stock and put it on a 112 degree lobe seperation. Both Crane and Comp have cams in that area. It shouldn't be too hard to find one. Jegs or Summit have them listed online.
