Hydraulic lifters self adjust and will keep the lift the same as if the cam were installed with shorter pushrods, as long as the lifters are preloaded some. Thats the beauty of hyd. lifters.

Just a side note, i'd be willing to bet that there's a loss in low rpm torque with an LS6 cam, since the cam is retarded by about 2 deg and it has a very wide LSA.

The lift and duration numbers look good and tend to fool you. But you'll loose a lot of low end torque. Been there, done that.

 

MyLS1Hauls - Where did you find the information on the 2* retard on the 01 LS6 cam? I've been curious about this and haven't been able to locate that info.

How much do you think a cam should be advanced for a truck with a 114 LSA?
