C5 Zo6 yeah..

C6 Zo6?? Not sure. Never heard of it being done. I'm wondering if the overall basical dimensions of the cam are the same or not. Not thinking so.

z06 through a 6spd puts down about 345whp give or take a few... dont know how much you would pick up.. though but thats what ls6 puts down.. with headers, bigger cam and intake i put 430whp.. so thats why i say if your gonna go through all the work.. myswell go big, unless your gonna boost the hell out of it.. but to each their own goodluck with whatever you go with..
