Yeah, talk to us! I just bought the late-model Z06 cam (got a deal) and, as far as I can tell, it should work in the LS1- emmission-legal, factory reliability, etc, with just a little more power. Got the GM springs that go with it, and wishing I could find a deal on the factory Z06 heads! My '01 already has the LS6 intake, and I have done some exhaust work, but not headers yet-

243castings are zo6 or ls6 if you will, heads bolt up to an Ls1.

Ls2 and up ie: Ls7, Ls9, have bigger bores so those heads will not work on the Ls1's

I would go with an Ls6 intake if you dont have a Cam, but if you do, maybe a Fast intake would be better if you do heads and cam Just my .02 cents

I dont think you will be making that much power you might be expecting with that CAM, especially with no headers. The lobe separation is like 116 isint it?
I would go with an ASA cam personally.
