so custom spec cam is the way to go!

i will use the 5.3 cam wich is 219/222 0.607"/0.602" 111+4LSA 109ICL LSL/LXl lobes

365whp 369 wtq on the small 5.3, what do you guys think itll do on a 6.0?

The LY6 is a VVT motor. I thought VVT motors required VVT cams. Is the LS9 a VVT motor as well? I'm pretty sure that a VVT motor requires a VVT cam and not just any cam will work with the VVT system. I could be wrong and it would be really cool if I am because that really opens the door wide open for a whole slew of other options if so.

No the ls9 is not vvt. You can delete vvt in the ly6 so you can run any cam.

I would run your 5.3 cam in there. That thing would be freaking torquey down low. But rectangular heads r supposed to like big splits. sell me your cam and get another one speced haha.
