A Cam Out Of A 98 Lq9 (6.0) Would Be Considered A Ls-6 Cam Right?
If So Whats The Advantage If Any Betweent That And A Stock Cam Out Of A 99 Ws6?

 

A LQ9 cam is not a LS6 cam, they are 2 different cams. The LQ9 is 207/196 and the lsa is 116. What year LS6 cam are you talking about?

 

WELL I HAVE A CAM OUT OF A 98 LQ9 (6.0) I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE THE SAME AS THE LS-6 CAM, GUESS I WAS WRONG. DO YOU KNOW THE SPECS TO THE CAM I HAVE (98 LQ9)?

 

You're all mixed up mate. LOL

The LS6 cam only cam in the Z06 Vettes. Not the WS6.

Like stated above there are 2 different LS6 cams. The 01' is generally considered the best for our trucks but the 02' works well also.

They had the 6.0L in 98'? or was it a late year type of thing?

 

I don't know if they changed cams when they went to aluminum heads, I think a 98 6.0 is a cast iron head motor. Those are the specs from my cam it was a 03 LQ9.

 

The 6.0 didn't come out till 1999 so you can't have a 98 model cam. The only LSx motor made in 98 was the LS1.

 

The above is right, no 6.0 motors until 2000..... look at the end of the cam whats the # stamped in it?

 

There was no 6.0 until 99, and no LQ9 until even later than that (2002 I think)

Here is a link that will help ya out with cam specs from different years:
