Default FS Head/Cam Package

I took a job in Mass so I'm having to move across country and unfortunatly I just don't have the money/time to do the swap right now. Therefore this is a HUGE opportunity for someone else. I will be selling this as a package deal only!

243 heads resurfaced for MLS
G5X1"E" cam from LG, don't have specs "secret" will pass smog
Comp hardened pushrods
Patriot Dual Gold Springs w/titanium retainers
MLS head gasket set
LS2 Chain
New GM headbolts
New Crank bolt
Timing cover gasket

Asking $1300

This cam makes power and passes smog!

I'm checking with Rick at Synergy to get his opinion. I've been considering this for some time but short on funds.

I got this package after I checked with Rick, sorry just thought that was ironic! Let me know what he says, although I kinda already know! Talk to Switchbarrel he really convinced me since he's running the same cam!

You guys really need to look at this as a WHOLE package. If you have stock LS1 heads this is for you. Ironicly I met up with Switchbarrel (Rick) today in pleasanton and his Z06 sounded amazing. I knew the moment he pulled up there was a bump stick in that beast. We talked for 10 minutes and it idled perfect with a nice lope. Sounded great and I think he even had a set of Ti's on the car. I could only wish I saw this 2 months ago. I would have jumped on it in an instant and sold the heads since I already have them This is a steal and I know Jeff is somewhat motivated to sell.

Rick has done some work for me in the past - 3.73 gears and a good tune that added a lot of power and torque. I have long tubes so a head/cam package is the next step.
Rick has head/cam packages for $5,000 but I don't have that kind of cash.
Your deal sounds like it might fit the bill but I'll wait to see what he says.

Just out of curiosity, what did Rick say about this set up.

That really means a lot Nick, this just isn't an opportunity I can pass up. The money is very good and I can FINALLY get ahead!

Rick said this cam is perfect for someone who wants to make a good deal of power without having to change it out for smog every 2 years! I'm serious you should see Switchbarrel's car, it's insane! If you have 3.73's you're one step ahead of me. With this cam you'll fly. I'm wager a guess you'd make 420-440 with an agressive/good tune. Grab an intake combo and you'll make more.

If I can pick up your deal maybe I'll have enough for that intake too.
I'll let you know as soon as I hear back from Rick at Synergy

Let me know as soon as you can, there is another guy on a similar board that wants it too so if you're game I'd hurry.

I don't want to hang you up. If the other guy wants it now let him have it. I'm still checking my options.

Default Cam package

Since my car has been mentioned here...^

If anyone wants to see/hear/feel what the cam would be like, come on over and you can check out my car. I've been on Rick's dyno twice, 470rwhp/436rwt and different day/weather 466rwhp/433rwt.

In addition to the G5X1-E, I do have:

AFR 205's
Ported FAST 90/LS2 TB
LG Street's
UD pulley
SVO 30's
Halltech CAI

-Rick

Rick @ Synergy installed/tuned my car so he's familiar with it. You can ask him about my white Z06.
I work in Pleasanton if checking out a car with the cam might help you with your decision.

I'd like to check out your car. I live in pleasanton and I'm free during the day.
I passed on this deal but I'm still interested in seeing your set-up since it's the next phase for my car
