alot of turbo guys use stock manifolds to run the exhaust to the front mount turbo. i doubt the stock manifolds will hold the cam back to much. but yes long tubes will greatly improve your performance when added with a cam. i slapped my LT's on with my bolt on only 5.3 and it really woke up the truck.

granted, with the smaller nature of the cams i mentioned, i don't think manifolds would be too big of a detriment, but to step up to something like a 220 or 224 cam would definitely need LTs to make good use of it.

All you need is a cam favored to the exhaust side of the set up, IMO it is a waste of time grabbing for minimal when you can put a better exhaust on and cam it for that. Save up like you did for the car and buy a cam and exhaust...

you didn't read did you? ![Happy](https://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
i did headers over 2 years ago. but i reckon i'll just wait to see if i can get the stroker for the car - then i'll cam the LS1 & put it in the truck. i've already did the hard stuff when i jerked the v6 out... now all i'd have to do is swap short blocks.
