Have an idea on a cam setup need some advice Heres what I've been considering adding to my car.
2002 LS-6 Cam
Manley LS1 1.260” Springs & Titanium Retainers 1.750” isntalled height
SLP 1.85 Ratio rockers
FYI the springs I'm looking at have the following description
Now I'm a little confused as to if I'll need new pushrods or not.
Now before anyone says that its too mild a setup lemme say this.
Its a 2k2 with a full warranty left. My goal is a mild kick in the pants that is totally stealth to both a dealer and my opponents. I understand the rockers don't make a difference at idle and the LS-6 cam I'm thinking should idle much like the stock setup.
any opinions on this setup and if it'll accomplish my goals. I don't plan on doing any further valvetrain mods and will be keeping stock heads.

FYI the springs I'm looking at have the following description
Need a spring upgrade? Our SD1423 valve springs are good to 0.600” lift. A single 1.260”od spring, no damper, matched with titanium retainers will keep your valves in motion. Retainers are designed to set the spring at 1.750” installed height with stock valves and the seat pressure from the spring will be approximately 120lbs. At 0.575” lift the spring will have about 350lbs of pressure.

Re: Have an idea on a cam setup need some advice so then would this LS6 "performance" cam work??
It features .525" intake and exhaust lift, 217 degree exhaust duration at .050", 207 degree intake duration at .050", and 116 degree lobe centers.

Re: Have an idea on a cam setup need some advice the '01 LS6 cam has duration # of 204/211, that website with 207 is wrong... anyway, y do u want the SLP rockers? get the comp cam i mentioned, it has more duration for more performance, good amount of lift, and still smooth with a 115LSA... save the $500 and put it to something else... and u figure the lift #'s by dividing them by the standard 1.7, then multiplying by the new #... (.525/1.7)=.309(.309x1.85)=.572
'01 ls6= 204/211-.525/.525-116
'02+ls6= 204/218-.551/.547-117.5
'01 ls6= 204/211-.525/.525-116
'02+ls6= 204/218-.551/.547-117.5
