just need springs. Scoggin-Dickey (our GM parts sponsor) should be able to help you out with a set of LS6 springs, or you could always upgrade with the most current recommendation on springs from one of our various sponsors.

Need to get longer pushrods if your heads are not milled.
SDPC has a LS6 cam kit check out the parts.------>

I was looking into the same mod and I gathered I could get about 30rwhp from the LS6 cam.
What year is yours, 02 has a better grind than 01.

After some post responses a lot of poeple suggested the MTI stealth 220/220
It's better than the LS6 yet still very tame at idle (Sleeeeeper cam)

well the thing for me is the 100k mile warranty.. i figure if they ever crack open the engine.. w/ ls6 springs and cam they can't tell.. unless they bust out the measuring tape.. not likely.

but w/ MTI stuff and diff springs.. wont they be able to tell?
