Default Worth THe Effert?

Ok i am getting ready to put in a stock 2002 LQ4 in my truck. I just put in a comp cams 212/212 522/522 112 lobe cam in my 5.3 (almost 100 miles ago). It was a much improvment on my stock 99 5.3. My question is will it be worth the effert to put this cam in my stock 6.0?? I am going to put the other stuff in my sig on the 6.0 so i thought about the cam also.

Spec that i cam up with

02 6.0 Cam Specs .196/.207 .467/.479 115 lobe
Comp Cam S[ecs .212/.212 .522/.522 112
Difference of .016/.005 .055/.043

Will i gain much in the swap?

I do not want to buy another cam because of funds. I was just wondering if it will be worth it to put in or not.

Yeah, it will make more power with the cam for sure. With only a 212/212 it should have good all around power. You won't gain huge in the upper rpms, but will have nice gains over the whole powerband. It would be worth it.

I agree...

How does it sound on a 112?
