Also.. something to think about: The aftermarket cams will need periodic review of the valve springs if you go over a certain lift. The 525 has some sacrifices in order to achieve a higher HP number, but it's under warranty, and theoretically won't need valve springs to be changed.

Texas Speed has a cam that adds 104 HP to an otherwise factory LS3, but it's going to be rough on valve springs (which might not be ideal for a daily driver car) and requires tuning.

The headers and intakes most people put on the engines also helps a bit with power output. Tuning makes the most of these also.
Thats crazy. What a small world!!! I live in paso robles but my shop is in atascadero. Wow 104hp is a huge increase. I'll keep that in mind if I need more hp! Thx
