ZO6 cam kit...install it or sell it? I just picked up a brand new in the box SDPC ZO6 cam kit on another forum for a steal. I figured I would ****** it up regardless of whether I used it or not. My original plan was to flip it and put the extra money towards a clutch, but now that I've started removing stock parts for my D1SC build, I'm considering just installing it while I'm in there.
It's a mild D1 build...stock internal motor (2001), with LT headers, catted Y, magnaflow catback, and a Shaner S3 tb. I also have 4.10 gears (M6). I plan on running around 8psi boost through the twin intercooled setup. That's pretty much it.
What do you guys think? Put the cam in there, or sell the kit and use the money towards a clutch? I'm going to have to do the clutch eventually anyways, but I'm just not sure it will be worth the trouble to install the cam kit or not. Curious to hear your opinions.
Thanks.

Sounds like you got a pretty good deal on it, but not cheap enough to justify selling it. Plus you have to think of how much its going to cost you down teh road to buy another cam.

The SDPC LS6 Camshaft Kit makes your cam swap easy and painless. We include the GM LS6 camshaft (204/218 dur @ 0.050 and 0.550/0.550 lift), SD1423 valve spring kit with titanium retainers, Manley pushrods (7.450), Rollmaster double roller timing set plus all necessary gasket and seals and a new balancer bolt.
Note: The pushrods used in this kit are intended for use with LS1 heads only, Different length needed for LS6 heads. The block and LS1 heads must have factory deck surfaces. If the heads or blocks have been milled, the pushrods will be too long. If your heads or block have been modified, please call for assistance

does this go for the 317 heads as well?
edit: DUH!

Just not sure if I want to go with this, or maybe hold out for a Lingenfelter GT 2-3. I don't think I want to go with anything as big as the EPP blower cam. Hell, I should just throw it in there, but looking at those valve covers, coil packs, and all that crap in the way just fills me with dread.
