Im also looking into a good daily driver setup, i drive 50 miles round trip everyday. do you need to get a different TC if you run the LS6 cam or will the stock one be fine?

 

Both places sell new GM LS6 cams,

 

Sweet. So when im ready to do the swap i need the cam(obviously), new springs, and anything else? Rocker arms? While im swapping the cam im going to do the pulleys and belts as well.

 

Just recived the cam! I have it setting next to my long tubes and orypipe, im waiting for my pulley kit, rockerarm/spring/pushrod/bolt package, spark plug wires, fuel pump and gauges(7krpm, 140mph!!)!!

 

cam specs comp xr 265. .522/.529 lift 212/218 lsa 114

 

wow nice cam ....i jus scored the gm ls6 cam under 5kmiles along with its factory rods.......new yellow gm springs shipped for 150! im putting it in my full bolton 6.0l since im swaping it into my 4.3l silverado.

 

Nice tip.

gblauf's said his XR265 is a great little cam: .522/.529" lift 212/218 on a 114 LSA, yet idles close to stock & can be run w/. no tuning & stock springs. I hope it's a winner for mileage.
I'm curious myself.

03chevyroyce, the '01 LS6 cam is 207/217 .525/.525 116LSA? Do ya need longer pushrods? Didn't that or is it the '02 Z06 that has a smaller base circle? I was under impression longer pushrods are needed on whichever yr Z06 has that small base circle.


ssinister04 where didja get a LS6 cam under 5k miles, LS6 factory rods, & new yellow gm springs shipped for 150? That's a deal.

 

i posted up a wanted ad and someone replied!!! i was shocked he just didnt want it anymore he took it out of his vette for another project on his truck but the vett got somen els and this was just sitten i threw a number out and he bit....hopefully its here by friday!

im just not sure do i ned to use the rods also?

 

YES YOU WILL NEED THE RODS, IN YOUR THREAD YOU SAID "....i jus scored the gm ls6 cam under 5kmiles along with its factory rods......" ASSUMING THE FACTORY RODS ARE FROM A FACTORY LS6 THEY SHOULD HOLD UP IN YOUR 6.0
