it all depends on how the motor was taken care of , regular oil changes matience ect , .. theres quite a few guys on here with 120k+ miles and have full boltons and cam and run just as good as anything

I've been telling you guys this for too long now, long tubes give up about 110rwhp to SHORTY HEADERS

I have a tr 220 and its a great cam in a 5.3 I think.. Most tr220 setups make like 325-340 at the rear wheels...

Would it be good to get the whole cam kit with the tr220?

Couple questions...

I have a 2006 5.3 with 128k miles on it.

I'm soon going to be putting a lunati cam into my truck (Voodoo Hydraulic Roller Cam - GM LS GEN III/IV 267/273 - Lunati Power) it has .549 lift on intake and exhaust, and since I have to upgrade my valve springs as well, I'm going ahead and putting new lifters in as well.

all of this with a tune what should I be getting for rear wheel power?

It's 2wd by the way.
