Which one is making more power at the flywheel? I know the Z06 (LS6) is about 405 hp. Now with just a cam swap to the GM Hot Cam, would the engine make more or lose hp? If so, how much more?
Goals...make more power than a Z06 (LS6), with a little more lope, while staying smog legal. Just want to know how much more power the cam will make/put out.
Hey bro I have the Ls6 pkg ,Don't burn No gas fuel friendly like a bat outta hell. But they have a Ligenfelter cam gt2-3 my buddy has the same set up I have but he has the gt2-3 I have the ls6 ,he pulled me by a car.
That cam is also fuel friendly My next upgrade.
Get the thunder racing 224 on 114lsa. It is very mild but will have more power then the two you listed. A lot of people regret the ls6 cam bacause the gains are so small once you factor in all the costs.

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)
Hmmm...fuel-friendly IS a GREAT thing, since we have the most expensive 91 octane fuel in the nation out here... I shall look at Lingenfelter's site right now. How does the car sound? Is it obvious that it has an aftermarket cam, at idle?
