We have some great deals going on this month for Headers and x-pipe systems with or without cats from American Racing Headers. I started a thread about them as well. I can pm you the price as well if you would like.

with a stock converter, you want a cam that is is to idle at low rpm. A 224/224 114 cam would do the trick. No need for a lot of extra exhaust duration with headers on the LS3.

If you are talking about buying the cam, several of the sponsors here can order the cam for you. Some can also help with mail order tuning, since a cam swap is going to require a tune to maintain drivability and get the best performance.

I don't mind changing my springs out every couple years, so I like high lift lobes from Comp Cams such as using the XFI lobe on the intake and the Xer lobe on the exhaust. A good set of springs should last 15k miles and probably 25k.

American Racing, LG or Kooks would be a good choice when it comes to headers.

Is this a daily driver?
