Anyone have the specs? Looking at a cam for a 5.3 to a 5.7 Build.
Heard said numerous times that the "02" ZO6 is better than the "01".....Why?
Is the LS6 better still? If so what year LS6 is best for boosted apps?
Thanks in advance.

 

depends on really doing the 01zo6 is cheaper cause u can reuse your stock pushrods

check your pm box

 

Which year ZO6 cam would be better for a stock 5.3 with LTs? I remeber reading somewhere that they had a diffrent exhaust duration through the years.

 

its really up 2 you there not that much different but bone stock i would got the smaller of the 2 IMO

 

Ls6 - 01 - 204/211 0.525/0.525 Lsa 116 385hp
Ls6 - 02-up - 204/218 0.555/0.551 Lsa 117.5 405hp

 

Thanks for the info given so far.
jkwalkercchs I understand what your saying about pushrod length but I am buying all new components for the build to make sure I won't be inheiting someones else's issue on a used engine.
I'm buing a salvaged engine for this build and most lieky will only be using the crank, and possibly the rockers. That's still up in the air.
But the question still stands, 01, and 02 ZO6 cams are diffrent, giving more lift and flow, so the 02 is inherently better?
Is the LS6 so close to the ZO6 it wouldn't matter between the two?
Pappy, thanks for the specs.

 

seriously no maybe a 2 rwhp diff but theres pros and cons with both
o1 would have slight more torque

 

The factory gave it a 20 fwhp bump with the new cam. I'm thinkin' maybe 12-15 rwhp. I can say that it doesn't do anything below 3000. Comes on at about 3500 and hits real hard at 4000 to redline. My .02

 

well hell then lets add to it.
how about a little hp numbers.

 

Is there a writeup on this anywhere? Ive been searching but can't find anything. Is there anyone who sells a kit with everything I need?

I've been searching but still confused becuase ive seen where all you need was pushrods and somepeople say you can get away without pushrods and then some people say you need pushrods and springs?
