it depends on the lift of the new cam. More than likely you'll need to put in new valve springs.

first you said you ARE NOT gonna cam it
now you say you are?

if the heads came OFF the motor...and you put them back ON the motor...with nothing done and no cam...why WOULD you gain anything.

going from ls1 heads to ls6 on stock cam will gain a little power but not much
