Dependability (high mileage?) with LS6 cam in LS1?
I was planning on installing the `02-`04 LS6 cam and springs in my 2002 SS. I chose this cam because:
1. I want the car to still sound "stock".
2. I want an unnoticed difference in gas mileage.
3. Being that it is a GM cam that was put in a production car, 100,000 miles without changing the valvesprings or other damage to the engine shouldnt be as big of a concern.
I have seen several people on here have installed this cam and have had great results (+30rwhp). However, after reading more about the smaller base circle and valvetrain geometery, I am concerned about how many miles I am going to get out of this engine with that cam installed. Has anyone here put on alot of miles with the LS6 cam?
