What kind of power gains will you get with the z06 cam in the 6.0 engine?

 

or the 5.3 for that matter...

 

If you do use this cam, I'd advance it 4* when installing. I remember it has like 2* retard built it so this would give you a 2* advance total.

That'd probably help get the powerband back down a bunch too.

Oh maybe 20rwhp? Depends on if ya got headers, correct springs, etc

 

with some headwork it should give you good numbers.


Also i think the cam has 2* advance ground into it not retard

 

I could swear it is 2* retarded as the cam pulls to 6500rpms at a 204 intake dur. Retarding the cam raises the power band, advancing brings it down

 

how do you advance the timing

 

I'm pretty sure that both LS6 cams are retarded 2 degrees.

Install an adjustable timing chain to advance the cam. Rollermaster chains allow you to advance or retard in 2 degree increments, while most other chains go are in 4 degree increments.

 

sorry i got it backwards

 

No problems, if I was wrong (which I am and can be) I'd admit it. I am always up for learning more and expanding my mind.
