Default lunati 60516 cam ? Good Cam ?

I am doing a cam swap in a 6.0L, with patriot stage 2 heads, ls6 intake. Specs of cam 219/223 duration, 625/625 lift, 112lsa. I am wanting a cam that will be streetable but at the same time make some good power. Lunati recommended this cam. Anybody know of a better cam? What power should I be looking at with this cam. Also had my 60lb injectors flow tested recently. 3 injectors were 6.1% richer than the others, will this be to much ?

60lb injectors sound WAY too big for your package. personally, I'd go bigger cam wise. With a 6.0 you can go bigger and still be streetable. My 224r in a 5.7 is very streetable.

Default injectors

House of boost in kansas recommended the 60's. They said they are easy to tune and leave you with plenty of growing room. I am also thinking about going with some 36's or 42's but do i really need to ?

No, since you have the 60s and they are tuned it is Ok.
The cam is a bit small however.

Ive contemplated this cam myself. Nature of the cam keeps the same operating range as stock and gives you a nice gain in not only HP, But TQ as well. GM High Tech mag has a write up on it comparing to many other cams and it made more tq than all the others tested, big and small. If you aren't planning on running in the high rpms most of the time, this is one u might consider.

I recently installed this cam in my ls1 equipped Holden Monaro. I am happy with the result as the car is a daily driver. The install included matching springs, Higgins ported 243 heads, yella terra roller rockers (requiring rocker cover spacers),4 into one headers, and the result remains very streetable. It was purchased on the basis of the Ls1 tech article. It was dynoed in Sydney with a flat torque curve and 295kW on an M6.
