I really doubt that it would be worth doing. I'm sure a used LS6 cam could be had for a song if he's on a budget.

In that case, I definitely wouldn't bother with it. He's probably got a better chance of losing than gaining low-end power with that cam.

Now that's a different story. The combination of that cam and new rockers and he'd probably see some decent gains. Still not really sure if it will be helpful for towing though.
