Cool Trick Flo GenX Top End Kit

I have been checking out this trickflow kit with a 283/286 duration 560/560 lift cam with Gen X heads .. Thoughts??? .. How much would that cam hurt bottom end torque? Not interested in stall ... Not very knowledgable with cams ... Any input is welcomed ..

I would think with a cam that big you are going to need a stall. I would say you wouldn't be in the power until 3,000rpm's and have some major push if it didn't die when you stop.

Over priced imo, grab a set of 243s and have ai or a similar company shave and port them. Then have pat g spec you out a cam. Youll need a converter, even a stock truck would gain acceleration with a higher stall.

I was under the impression that my '08 Sierra 5.3 already had 243's or at least twin from 243's anyways... cud i just get these "messaged" (milled n what not) n see noticeable gains??
