slow posted up a good how to, it will be a good read to get you ready.

Now their are allot of good cams available for our motors.
on most of these, your looking at a shopping list for:

LS6 or comp 918 springs.
7.4 push rods.

Now to take the list a step further, you will be pulling the timing case cover.
High flow oil pump.
Double roller timing chain.

LS6 spring is good for a lift of 550.
The comp 918 is needed for a lift of 551 to 600.
The lift on the cam will tell you witch spring you will need.

as far as the cam, do a cam search, many have posted a vid
So we could hear what their cam sounds like.
never know, the way you want your truck to sound
May have been posted already.

 

what is the lift and ***** of a Z06 cam and do you have to pull the heads or intake to install it..they were changin the heads in the install posted...is it possible to do it without pulling the heads

 

no you don't need to pull the heads.
the ZO6 is 551, 555, lsa 117.5 and it will have a stock idol.
but other cams are better for a NA 4.8 motor.
the ZO6 is good for boost.

 

what kind of cam would you recommend 4 my truck that has a aggressive sound and can be used with the stock convertor...what about the springs and lifters...do they make a tool to change the springs without removing the heads...thanks for the help man

 

yes their are tools made so you don't have to pull the head to change the springs.
as far as cams to pick from.
again i have to say do a search, their are too many video files
of trucks with motors idoling so we can hear what it sounds like.
i'll dig up a few and post them.

 

did they have a zo6 in 2005?? didnt think they did..is it out the ls2? ls6? ls7?

 

here are some vids, allot more are posted on the site.
