Ls3 h/I vs ls6 i have a daily driving 2000 camaro auto with 3200 stall 6.0 bored .30 over flat top pistons 1 3/4 header into 3” y pipe 243 heads and tsp 230/236 113 cam. I’m having 373 gears and injectors done but also wanting some heads and an intake considering I still have ls1 intake. My options are prc as cast 225 heads with ls6 intake OR ls3 heads with a ls3 intake and a custom cam for the heads. Which will make the most power for my setup? Texas speed told me to get the bald eagle ls3 na cam for the ls3 heads and I also been seeing pat g spec cams for them on here? Any tips and info would be great thanks

I think the LS3 setup will peak more power but lose some low end. The 225/LS6 combo will give more midrange and a little less on top. Just a guess...

I bet the LS3 setup is cheaper than the 225/LS6 combo. Am I right??

no I added up $300 more and that’s if I can find the throttle body for the intake as well. Not sure if I’d need different fuel rails or not either. It’s a little higher considering I have to purchase a different cam

A well ported Fast 102 on your existing combo would probably be pretty close to the PRC 225 set up which
would be restricted by the LS6 intake, might even be more.
