any of the BIG cams should get you close.

you say you have the ls6 engine....was it swapped in? or are you talking about just the ls6 block that some late Fbodies got?

if its just the block, than the heads are gonna be your limiting factor in trying to get 430rwhp on stock heads.

that 440 with the MS4 is pretty high for cam only. i'd say typical BIG cam numbers are more like 420-430.

but any cam that is high 23x's....or low 24x's....with about .600" lift and tight lobe separation....with all the bolt ons, and a FAST intake...should get you damn close to your goal.

good luck with running a stock ls6 set up and doing a cam only swap getting to 430+ you need a lot more than a cam..

[QUOTE=teke184;8488516]that 440 with the MS4 is pretty high for cam only. i'd say typical BIG cam numbers are more like 420-430.

I said those where my numbers and when I made them I also had the prs cnc'd ls6 heads and most of the bolt ons.

+1 for that, make sure you get some good valve springs too.

I would say the COMP XER cams would be a good choice. In the larger of the options of course
