Default 6.0 with Heads/Cam ?

I am finishing up my 6.0 with heads/cam tonight the cam is a tr224 and the heads are 5.3's milled .030 over with 2.02 1.57 valves. I also have the full intake and longtubes into true duals. I was wondering what kind of power I should expect out of this setup and do I have any chance of hitting 12's I already have the 3200 stall in there. I think that is about it I also will be putting a little bit of nitrous on it in the next couple weeks once I know this setup is fully dialed in.

With traction no doubt in my mind you will be hitting 12's.

traction is going to be the key factor. what is your compression going to be like? gears in the rear and what tires you plan on running?

With traction, it shouldn't be a problem at all. Sounds a lot like slowprocess' setup.

Right now I"m running 3.42 in the rear until my posi gives up then I'll move to 4.10's. I will try to get some slicks if I go to the track since that is pretty much a necessity. I want to shoot for 11's on nitrous.

Yep...yep... I don't think 12s will be a problem, as long as you have a throttle body spacer like me!

I think 12's are in reach with your set up. Nice looking truck man, I see we have the same taste trucks. But whats up with the two tone SS mirrors in that 1st pic?
