Personally I would not spend the money or time to do a cam swap for another "stock" cam. You'll see 49 hp and 42 lb-ft gains from an ls1 cam.
Ls6 Cam specs 204/218@.50 .550/.550 lift 117.5 LSA
LS6 Cam specs 207/217 @.50 .525/.525 lift 116 LSA
Hot Cam specs 219/228@.50 .525/.525 lift 112 LSA
Ls6 Cam specs 204/218@.50 .550/.550 lift 117.5 LSA
LS6 Cam specs 207/217 @.50 .525/.525 lift 116 LSA
Hot Cam specs 219/228@.50 .525/.525 lift 112 LSA

Hmmm...GM has two LS6 cams, huh? I didn't know that...

Doing a 5.7L with the EXACT Z06 specs (tentatively) but i'm getting some good feedback in this thread. I originally wanted the GM HOT cam due to the noticeable idle and the "ease" of swap. I know what the Z06 is rated at for HP, but I was curious to know what gains could be had with a HOT cam in a stock Z06.

I don't have a GTO...I have a 2003 Silverado with a 5.3. I am building a 5.7 LS6/Z06 engine to replace the 5.3L. The engine has to pass smog and i want a little more noticeable idle. I'll be starting from scratch with the entire build (to LS6/Z06 specs)
