i have an 00 ws6 and am looking at doing a mild cam up grade. eventually id like to do and agressive head and cam package but until the funds come in, id like to get a nice mild cam that will give me more power but not require a head change. any thought on a reasonably priced cam..... any one have one for sale??

a mild cam will not give off any extra power unless you have a supporting intake and exhaust.
if i were you, i would collect all my funds and do full bolt ons plus aggressive heads/cam when the time comes. you do full bolts ons now, youll just have to remove it all when you do your heads and cam.

well currently i have a SLP LM1, FAST 90mm TB, SLP lid, tune and am looking for either a ls6 intake or FAST here on ls1tech. so for now i just want a decent cam until i save up for a agresive head and cam package.

A FAST 90mm TB won't bolt up to a LS1/6 IM so if you have one sitting around it will sit until you get the IM to match.
Headers are the biggest single mod that will help a cam. This really should be your next move.
Any cam worth installing will also need springs and a retune. Even a mild LS6 cam needs LS6 springs but you can get by W/O the tune cause it's so mild (not worth the trouble installing IMO). Following the advice you have been given will save you time and $$$ from doing some things twice and the feeling of ***** why aren't I faster......
Just be patient and do things right as you can afford them. Good luck and have fun with your modding.
