Comp does offer a few cam/spring options. Also read that lsx cams fit just have to change firing order. Raylar seems to be top dog in the aftermarket but their prices reflect it. Cam change and some tuning is on my list. Wanna get it in and harnessed first tho. my plan is to use the complete harness from donor van and rewire the entire truck with it. Thats definately the most extensive part.
