pretty well. The drivability will be great and you will not hear too much of it. I dont think you need a tune to make it driveable but you will want one anyway.vYou are prolly gonna need more cam to meet the goal in your sig.

well i ordered my lt pacesetters. and i was going to get a tune also. so i should be gettgin close after those and the cam too. I want to keep daily drivability and get a little more mileage out of it too if possible.

that works but i think you should go with a better cam than that if you plan to meet your goals. There is a guy i know with a 4.8 running a 221/221 cam and he is hitting 290 hp with pacesetters, intake and exhaust. You might try doing some camshaft homework if you are gonna go through the trouble of a camswap.

The 01 Z06 cam is better for low end power than the 02+ ones. Just depends on where you want the power curve at. You will get more gross HP with the 02+ but lose in the bottom where our rolling bricks need it.
The GM cams are a nice drop in solution compared to the aftermarket but you might look at other options like mentioned with your intended power goals. No sense in swapping cams more than you have to.
BTW Nikon02 are you a camera fan? I work for the semiconductor branch of Nikon.

check on ebay or ls1tech.com and you will find tons of them for sale for 150bucks lol

like said, its a good drop in cam, but you need ls6 springs and pushrods of coarse to go with it. I think someone dyoned and saw 25-30hp gains awhile back
