Budget cam build for CTS-V LS6
Steming from my camshaft position sensor problem, I believe the propblem is actually the cam bolts. I figure if I get that far into the motor, I might as well drop a new cam in it. I am simply looking for more power, not a wild loping idle. My V is daily driven all stock LS6 with 113K on it. Mods are monster clutch, aluminum flywheel, and B & B exhaust. I know I will probably need to do valve springs and pushrods. May do headers down the line as well. Is there anything else critical that I need to upgrade? Any cam suggestions?

I'd recommend our V2 as it's a torque monster and works well in heavy cars, yet still has a nice lope to it. Our cam kits which include everything you need (PRC dual springs, titanium retainers, pushrods, new crank bolt and seal, timing cover and water pump gaskets) and happen to be on sale this month for $775 shipped. Call me at 817-750-2000 to take advantage of this, Chris

To replace the cam the heads have to come off an LS motor unless you use the magnetic lifter tool. Since the motor has over 100K you should do a valve job and new seals while they're off. You should also replace the lifters so you can add that to the list. Plus to take full advantage of the cam you'll need headers and a tune also.
