Yet another cam vs. 6.0 question
Yet another cam vs. 6.0 question thanks for the help in advance guys...
ok, i have a 00 ls1 w/ 70k on the ticker, and all supporting mods minus a ls6 intake. M6, tunnel TA, moser 9", 4.11, pace setter LT w ORY and gmmg.
i have this cam on the shelf complete w/springs, timing chain, and 7.4 pushrods. Cam: Comp 228/232 .588/.595 on 114+2 lsa.
i am wondering what kind of numbers i can put down with it, i would buy a ls6 intake or a fast setupwhen i installed it.
OR
I have the option of a 02 complete iron 6.0l w/ low miles avail for 800 bucks.
which to install i would still need to buy an intake as a minimum. what kind of power to expect? suggestions?
budget wise i am kinda open? dont want to spend masses of money, but i am not gonna spare any expenses.
thanks again

I agree with the 2 guys above, assuming you will be putting that cam into the 6.0. Power numbers really won't differ by a lot at this stage, but going to that 6.0 does give you the opportunity to machine it out to a 408 later on down the road.

It depends on which 6.0 your talking about. If it's the LQ9 it will make a little more power with a bit more low end torque. If it's an LQ4 it will probably be real close to the LS1. Neither will be a night and day difference. If it was me I would do the 6.0.

6.0 IMO. I have an LQ4 with ported 5.3 heads and stock truck motor cam ( i Know, I know.... cam is on its way)
And I am making crazy low end torque. I love this LQ block because it WILL be bored and stroked in the next 1-2 years. More cubes is always better, Im sure no one here has to tell you that.
There is a weight penalty, This can be off set by a battery relocation. I am thinking about doing it but curious on a few factors of the install. 6.0 all the way. 402/408 etc after that.

I like this idea... well i did alreay buy it, so i have it, now the question is to wait until tax time to buy stage 3 6.0 heads and a healthy cam, or put it in now with the cam i have (motor has 317 heads/from 02 yukon) or put the cam i have into the ls1 and wait all together for the 408?
I've read the agressive ported 6.0 heads aren't worth the effort unless your going to bore/stroke your block or go FI. They flow really well stock and you can probably get Patriot or one of the others to port your stock heads cheaper than buying a set. I'd try the cam with the stock heads first and see what that gets you. The TSP 228R or Torquer v.2 would probably be a killer and still have decent street manners. I'm probably going to run the 228R in my Silverado SS.
i have already got a cam, listed in post 1, but i am wondering if it is worth it to use it in the 6.0, and i am planning to turn the 6.0 into a 408, just dont have te cash for heads AND stroker at the same time. so i was thinkin to get the stage 3 6.0 heads and use my cam (Comp 228/232 .588/.595 on 114+2 lsa) in the stock 6.0 shortblock. what kind of power should i see from that combo? prolly use a set of prc stg3 6.0 heads and my cam and a stock bottom end...?
