Try this, should work.

Same stage 5 in my car except I don't have Mast heads.

I also have cats on my car still BUT I have DMH cutouts

Does anyone have experience with a Brian Tooley Racing Stage 3 Cam?
Not sure what the difference between a Stage 2 and Stage 3 is exactly.
That what my guy is suggesting, says it's pretty aggressive.
If I wanted a milder cam, he's suggesting a Katech Torqer
Stock heads ported and polished by West Coast Racing

I'm no gear head, just a performance enthusiast!
Just wanna get my Z28 to the pass the 576 RWHP I had in my ZL1
I would really love around 600-610 RWHP but still want to be able to drive it around town

Possible, but starting to get into interesting territory. Look at the Vengeance Racing options, beyond what my car or the black one have they go to a new block... AZ Charlie has a setup with a supercharger making big power however...

Katech torquer is a great cam according to my tuner as well. The engine doesn't have to be spun past 6k to feel the extra hp. It has one of the largest "under the curve" gains and great streetability.

So not to hijack but what's the skinny with your car? Get a stock LS7 for yours yet?

Wow, the stage 3 sounds sick!
May be just what I'm looking for!

Robbie,
I went with the Brian Tooley stage 3 as it gives the aggressive mid range and top end without losing driveability lower down the rev range. Like most things its a compromise - if you want to get over 600 rwhp without a blower you will inevitably lose some low rev driveavbility. Compared to stock, I lose a tiny bit of low down smoothness but definitely worth it as the mid range and top end is savage compared to stock. I am at 576 rwhp and 532 ft/lbs and the throttle response since I added the FAST 102 intake/NW 102 throttle body and LS1 injectors is instantaneous which you never get with forced induction.

Why did they use LS1 injectors?

Has anyone tested a set of Trick Flow® Gen X 260 Cylinder Heads for GM LS7?
