Such as a very mild street cam, ported TB, ls6 intake..
Biggest concern is the cam.. It's a comp 224/224 .581/.581 114lsa cam.
It's been in there 20K miles and as far as I know its mild street cam, so I'm guessing it should be alright.
thanks in advance

With 20K miles, I'd at the very least change the valve springs for peace of mind. It isn't expensive (relatively speaking).
With a cam, you simply can't expect stock-like reliability, but then again, these engines tend to last a long time if properly maintained, even with cams/heads.

if he used stock replacement springs, your still going to need to get new springs to hold up to the higher lift of the cam. you really should just get a cam kit that comes with the new valve train parts your going to need. also do an ls6 oil pump and an ls2 timing chain.
