I was curious though if you had a tune, as well? You may have mentioned it somewhere at sometime [a week off work sucks coming back on Monday, ha ha]

FYI, the stock LS6 cam specs (i think, anyone feel free to correct me) are:
204/218 int/exh at 0.05" duration
0.551" / 0.548" int/exh lift
117 LSA
so basically, you are adding 13 degrees on the intake and 21 on the exhaust. giving a duration spread from 14 to 22. there is nothing worng with going with a higher duration, but you may want to get them a little closer together. for mild cams, i would look at GM Hot Cam kits or Blower Cams kits.
GM Hot Cams 219/228 at 0.050" 0.525/0.525 112 LSA
Blower Cam Example 235/251 at 0.050" 0.621/0.624 115 LSA
Edit: Serik, what are the other specs on the cam that you are thinking about?

because you have to upgrade to a stiffer valvespring to handle the added lift of the cam. Until you get that warm oil lubricating the valve spings they can be pretty brittle so if you like to rev it to 6k when the valve springs are cold your more then likely gonna break one or more.
not to mention LSR lobes are one of the more harsh grinds on the valvetrain.

whisler has a really meaty cam, i cant remember the duration specs. but i know his lift is somewhere around 0.650. and if i remember correctly, he has to wait a few minutes in order to romp the car for the reasons above.

i ussaully dont romp on my car till its been running for a while either way, any other cam that you guys can reccommend thats more valve train friendly cuz i hear from lsr lobes with after market springs need a replacment every 30k dont know how true that is, i want a good mild cam that can be blower friendly if i should decide to go that route, also im gussing when i do the cam it would be a good idea to go to double spring for safty? any other common things that shoulld be done on a ls6?
