Default Ls6 cam?
Where can I find a used ls6 cam? and can I install it on a 5.3 truck motor?

I've got a LS6 stock cam that came out of a Corvette crate motor you can have for 50 bucks. Brand new + shipping. But why would you go to all the trouble?

For the ridiculously low price ls6 cams can be found for, it would be a nice upgrade over the truck cam for someone on a budget. The $300 saved on a more expensive cam could go to other mods.

A stock LS6 cam swapped into a 5.3 has an imense impact on power & torque. The just damn work!! Especially if some boost is added.
