I take you didnt need any tuning, but of coarse tuning would make more HP im sure.


This would be going in a 04 ECSB 4x4. Im getting a TB 2600 sometime shortly also, so I take that would make up for any low end loss and them some? Those with the cam, did you replace the springs? I was wondering if new stock springs would hold up good enough?

also, how much gain and how much did you raise the shift points?

 

I think it's going to be a dog down low

Z06 springs are cheap. I'd get those while you're at it.

 

even with the stall?

 

It was for me.

I had an 02' Z06 cam and while not as good for us as the 01' it was still kinda blah on the bottom end. I swear it didn't start to pull hard till 4k+rpm. With a 3000 stall I had to wait for nearly 1000rpm before it would start to pull. Now with a full custom tune with increaed timing on the low end it might have been better but I just don't know.

IMO, look for a good used truck cam.

If you're dead set on the LS6 cam I'll sell you mine for $80+ shipping. Hahaha

 

thanks for the info.. i see the 02 ls6 cam is 117.5 LSA so thats way to high of a LSA for me.

I was wondering if advancing the 01 cam would help any?

 

ttt.. i know more of you have these cams lol..

would a 2600 stall and this cam be a good combo in a ECSB 4x4? If not, ill slap the 00 vette cam i have here in the truck ( 209/198 .500 115.5)

 

Go with the 01 zo6 cam and the 02 zo6 springs the o2 cam has alittle more dur. and lift thanthe o1 so the springs wrok great.

 

ALRIGHT you want dyno proven #'s do a search on Z06 CAM. Big tex has dyno sheet that show's 30 hp gain and 20 tq.Most 212 cams only show that much and usually cost over $500 brand new with matching springs.Their are plenty of people running fbody cams with good gains such as GOSHAWK,V8 and others to name a few.Their cams are on 115.5 and the 01 CAM is a 116.You can usually pick up cam and springs for about $150.Advace that cam 4* just to offset bottom end.

 

only problem is, i dont wanna buy a adjustable chain just to advance it 4 degrees

im just worried about sucking azz outta the hole with the ls6.. i know it will fly on topend though

 

I had MUCH better results with my 226/.535/112 cam than the Z06 cam.

Results are going to vary because of tuning and the setup on the truck. So saying it's a better cam than one designed for a truck and it's particular mods is wrong IMO. In a drag race truck peak power is fine but in a street truck with a tiny stall peak power is kind of a waste. A cam that makes 10hp less peak but 20more avg. is a better plan to me.
