i'm still considering a cam... just a little later on down the road now - gotta get the Maggie on the car first.
what about that 214/218? nobody's really commented on that one...

i'd also like to see how the 214/218 would do when i swap the car's LS1 into the truck...
(man, this crap just don't stop!
)
but it's always something... first i gotta get the 402 or 416 for the car, but for the past year that i've been with my (now) wife, i ain't got to spend a dime on either vehicle
i want to die...

I did a 222/222 563/563 114+4on my truck with the stock manifolds and cats. I definitely noticed more top end, but felt restricted. Really woke it up once I went with the calspeed LTs and ORY.

hey! i've been broke or busy... ![Sad](https://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_sad.gif)
started out not having the monies
then saved the monies but kept saving to buy my dream car
then finally did the headers
then kept saving & put headers, X, cutouts, and a blower on the car
then wrecked the car & spent the monies rebuilding it nicer
then got a woman
then married that woman
now all i can afford is to occasionally fill up the gas tank![Sad](https://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_sad.gif)
shut yer face, you!

i almost want to pop the LS1 to justify buying the stroker... but then i'd be stuck with the 5.3 in the truck ![Sad](https://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_sad.gif)
and what's worse is if we start talking about kids... now i gotta stop on the truck so i can find a needle in a haystack like this little gem for the back seat - and stuff like wheels, tires, lights, etc: all that can swap over, but all my engine work would go out the door
i don't wanna downgrade engines... 5.3 to 4.8 is bad enough when adding 1000lb to your curb weight but losing a built LS1 to a stock 4.8
