I have decided to go with the Z06 camshaft mainly because so many of you guys recomended it. I found a 01 Z06 cam, that has the specs: .525/.525 211 204 116 114/118. Would this be a very good mild cam. What types of hp gain would I see? Would my truck have a different lopeing sound to it/sound better/different? Also I know I would have to change out my springs, so I was figuring since many f-body guys switch their cams with this, couldn't I just find some stock f-body springs, would they hold up for sure, if not reccomend some that would hold up for a long time that are not expensive? Also I saw on a web site, I thought the address was sdpc2000.com but it doesn't seem to work, anyway they had a LS6 cam and they said something about having to change out push rods for longer ones, would I need to do that if I got the Z06 cam, or are they just trying to get people to buy more sh#t? Thanks for the help.

 

dont worry about pushrods, thats for the 02+ model LS6 cam.

Stock fbody springs are the same spring you already have. Get some LS6 springs.

I installed that 01 cam in my 99 truck. It gained 32 HP at the wheels.

 

Tex,

At what RPM did that cam start making power?

 

It starts kicking in at about 3k, maybe a little sooner.

 

yeah, you feel it turn on at 3k. It pulls good to 6200. Much more power after 5400 than stock. Nice smooth power, but poor under 2000.
