Looks like his 1st post, cut him some slack....Frans96ss is right bud, you will need to upgrade the springs if you plan on runnign an aftermarket cam. If you find a cam, you can pick the necessary springs from there. LS6 cams can be pretty good though if your looking to keep it stock.

you can get a cam kit for $700 so theres really no reason to not upgrade springs. then, we can help you decide what the biggest cam you can run is, depending on which springs you get. however, dont just go for the biggest you can get, as bigger isnt always better.

make sure you check the lift if you go any bigger then .615 .620 i would go with double valve springs... Just bought mine through TSP with a cam springs titanium seals and retainers, push rods and seals for $689.

It almost not worth doing a cam if your going to keep it real close to stock. I think MTI has a stealth cam that sounds like stock but you probably still need springs. And dont forget about the pushroads.

You can also throw in the COMP XR277HR 224/228 .534 .537 112. If the LS6 heads you presently have are the hollow and sodium filled valves then they must have the yellow valve springs correct. Those springs are rated at .570 maximum lift and would work great with this cam.
