ok thanks. however, i'm still in highschool working a part time job. i can't really afford to upgrade spring and pushrods at the same time as a new cam. so i'm just gonna do some cheap small stuff untill next year. the ls1 cam is bigger, so i should make more power, even if it's small gains. my dad owns a mechanic shop so i have access to all the tools, and i got plenty of weekend time to do this with.

EDIT-Use your Christmas money and buy a used LS6 cam with springs and pushrods. I bought an LS6 cam for $65 about a year ago

Would the cam in the link below be what you all are talking about?

What kind of power gain would a 5.3 get over stock by adding a Z06 cam??
