The price is right too. Gonna need to raise your shift points though as the LS6 cam shows most of it's gains over the stocker above 5k rpm.

Yeah,

My buddy just put one in his HD 6.0L and only other mod he has that I don't is electric fans, but I have a converter so I beat him off the line then around 45mph or so he goes blowing by me like nothing. He still has stock tuning and shift points. It's gonna be sick with the converter and LS1 Edit. I'm thinking mid 14s N/A then we are both doin a wet kit

Does anyone know if the LS6 cam is a good cam if you have future plans to supercharge? I am considering the cam, however I am also supercharging it in the future and hate to buy the cam, them have to go again and re-buy another cam that is more appropriate. Thanks.
