Default 02 ZO6 cam would this help?

Stock long block, 02 ZO6 cam, yellow springs, procharger, meth, 42lbs injectors .what about adding 1.8 roller rockers? What kind of gains? Would it sound better?

skip the 1.8's and get bigger injectors around the 60# area

The Z cams have shown to be good FI performer cams. I agree, nevermind the rockers, and if you don't have an aftermarket fuel pump, you need it. Go with Racetronix.

Do you have an LS6 block or LS1? What size procharger? How much boost you runnning? Track or street car? Is the z06 cam already in the car?

Skip the rollers as said above, make sure you have plenty of fuel, a good tune, z06 cam is good/cheap upgrade if you have a 5.7 or 5.3. What kind of heads are on it? Porting to match the cam and blower always is good for hp.

I have a p1 for now will be a f-1, it has professional products intake, throttle body, fuel is currently twin walbros for now friend owns Aeromotive so it will have theirs, I have one on my boat and love it. It is a ls1 the cam is in it, just bored with car after a built 4l80e conversion from a 6 speed, wife's car and she is getting bored with auto, so I am loosing converter from 3000 to 3600, 3,89 gears on a fabricated 9 inch. Also I was saving my 60lbs injectors for the 408 we are building, but when wife gets bored she might sell it and something new, I am to close to finishing so if I could pick up some hp. Also have a set of 317's that flow 297 cfm with double gold springs, for the 408 and it is a 8 rib ati set up too.

If I can get the lift up maybe it would gain some rwhp. And it is a street car, in fact my daughter is learning how to drive in it. Part of the reason for auto.

If I was wanting that much work I put my 317's on. I might do that instead I have 2 sets of heads.

That's what I'm doing, picked up an 02+ LS6 cam, a set of #317's and am going to run it on my 4.8 with an MP T70 also @ roughly 15psi.
