^^^ If that z06 is your daily driver be very leery of adding a cam. Not to offend anyone here but the MPG will go down, the idle will be a bit rougher, and if the tune isn't spit on then you might have cam surge at awkward speeds/load points. Not to say that any of those things will bother you but really make sure it's what you want to do, it's a big commitment to do a cam in terms of labor/money/drivability.

I agree. And for only 30-40hp, i dunno if its worth it. But the sound is. I dont see a problem in adding a cam, most of the tuners, reputable ones in the Dallas area are good at what they do. I mainly stay in the DFW area, but I will take the car on road trips or up to missouri to see my father. I'm not 100% on a cam.
However, a little birdie told me of a prototype cam only LS6 that should be making 450rwhp. THAT would be worth it.

If your worried about mileage, it's simple,....do what you think is best. Nobody can decide that but you.
"Is that 30 to 40 extra rwhp worth it?"
Are you kidding? Does Howdy Doodie have wooden *****?

I think i'm going with the PRC "Gold" double spring, looks like its good to .660 lift

Yea, i have a feeling i'm going to go with the biggest cam that will fit an LS6 with out flycutting.
