I am with you on the install worries. I am old and working on these F-body motors is a bitch. It wouldn't be to bad if they didn't sink half the motor under the cowl.

if it makes you feel better, I confused the hell outta my self as well

OK, I got the package today, so I'm straight on exactly what I have now. Here's the goods:

-2002-2004 LS6 cam GM part #12565308...still taped up in the tube.
-1 set of LS6 valve springs GM part number 12565313...individually packaged...old part #?
-1 set of LS6 valve spring retainers...no label with part number, but still new in bag. Maybe came as part of the package?

This cam kit was apparently purchased back in '03 and never taken out of the box...maybe that accounts for the old part numbers. The only description I'm able to find on the springs are "LS6 valve spring, replacement", so I'm guessing they will work fine. I've only heard of the "yellow" springs associated with the LS6 cam, and these aren't yellow...just metallic. Hopefully someone can chime in there. No pushrods or timing chain, though...

I think I'm going to bite the bullet and throw this thing in, unless one of you needs it real bad. Might as well since I'm in there...just have to pull the radiator.

Question on the pushrods. In looking at the part number on the cam, it says to use pushrods that are .050 longer than stock LS1 if you are using the cam with LS1 (241) heads, since factory LS6 heads use a longer valve. So I should be OK with 7.450 pushrods, yes?

And timing chain...go with an LS2 unit?

Thanks guys.

From experience on my blown A4 car. 424 rwhp on the LS6 cam at 8lbs of boost. 432 on the GT2-3 at 8lbs of boost. What a waste of money for 8 rwhp. I up'ed the boost to 11lbs with the GT2-3, 491 rwhp. I talked to Bobby at LG and put in the cam in my sig, 563 rwhp. What a difference!!! Those so-called mild blower cams have nothing on this. And the Exotic Performance Plus cam is a bit bigger and should put out even better numbers and power.

The reason I'm posting this is to tell you that your wasting your time and money on basically a small minor change. You can do alot better than those cams. Trust me. It was my time and money.

Best time at 491, 11.38 @ 124.x. Best time with new LG cam, in sig.

Just my opinion bro. D

I would go bigger if youre going to replace pushrods and valve springs anyway. May have to upgrade the lifters and rockers if you go too big but they arent that expensive

Really, it's either this cam or no cam. I'm at the point in the D1 install where I can do the cam swap relatively easily, but if I don't do it, then I'm pushing on and getting the blower installed and getting everything buttoned up. I don't have the money to buy a new cam, springs, pushrods, etc...even if I sell this kit.

Sorry, but I don't think you'll be making much of a difference. Yes, there're cars out there making good power with them, but its the blower making the power.

Well, maybe I'll just put it up for sale then. Hell, I don't know...
