Re: 350 vortec buildup

If you have stock truck Vortec heads, you will need to peel them off and get the valve pockets machined deeper and go with much heavier valve springs to be able to run a big enough cam to get you to your target. You will also need good headers, see exhaust section for that. What intake system are you using? What cam is in it now? Are you going to run nitrous with stock pistons?

We need more information to help you out.
