Re: cam with zo6 heads That depends on a lot of things . . . do you have to pass emissions, do you like a rough, lopey idle, do you mind doing spring maintenance, what are your ultimate hp and rpm goals for the engine, will you ever install heads and headers, M6 or A4 tranny, rear end gears?

Re: cam with zo6 heads
...will you ever install heads and headers, .....
...about the cam - I was asking myself the same q. and my logic is that GM did its research and thinks the best cam for a daily driver and those heads should have a lot of exhaust duration (02' ls6 cam - 204/218] => expecially if you are not running headers, the cam generally should be traditional split, probably less split for a bigger cam.Then it's all about how big you want to go and how much are willing to sacrifice in terms of drivability and reliability.
I should have said "are you going to have the heads ported?"
