I was pouring over some threads and read somewhere that a head and cam package was just as good as a S/C. I was wondering what kinda of numbers can be gained from a packaged head/cam combo on the 5.3L? I never believe what companies say.. anyone with good realworld hp/tq numbers from just a head/cam swap. I am asuming that with a nice cam upgrade and headwork good numbers can be gained and also keep the streetablity and have the numbers throught the rpm range.

Still trying to decide which way I should go with my budgeted amount to make some nice numbers out back.

Thanks for any advise

You might get some some good replies here, but I suggest also perusing the Internal Engine section of the site, since the sheer numbers of those guys make it more likely they have direct experience. You might also want to consider posting this same question over there with a more accurate subject line, like "H/C vs. Supercharger: Gains?".
