5.3 LM7 With A LS6 Cam
Ok here is what i have going on 5.3 LM7 with 241 heads milled 0.20 using the LS1/5.3 HO headgaskets, with the LS6 cam i was originaly going to go the FI but decided to go carbed. I will have LT's 3200 stall, motor is going into a F-Body. Question is what is the best intake and cam to go with?? Googled and searched read all boards, and still don't know.. Anybody running a similar setup as this???

What is the intended use for the vehicle? As modchevelle said the ls6 cam is pretty tame. If this is like a weekend toy and want a little rumble I think you would be disappointed with the ls6 cam.

If you are going to use the Performer RPM intake and want really great drivability, go with this camshaft: http://store.cammotion.com/the-titan3-1
If you want more of a loping/choppy muscle car idle, you can run this camshaft with either intake manifold:

Either of these camshafts can be used with a good beehive performance replacement valve spring like the 1218 PAC or a good performance double valve spring like the Cam Motion .650" lift valve spring or the Tooley Racing .660" valve springs which is also available from Cam Motion.
