233/239 cam with 135k miles?
Well instead of putting my 6.0 and turbo into my TA this winter, im just going to do a cam-only setup(buying a house instead ). I really like the numbers/driveability/etc that ive seen out of the tsp 233/239 cam. lift on it is a hair over .600 (i believe its .609). I will be shifting at about 65-6600ish. Only problem is my motor has 137k miles on it. It holds great oil psi, and has no problems what-so-ever (minus a little piston slap on cold mornings). Would it be worth my time putting the cam in this motor? honestly if it blows up it wont be that big of a deal since i have the 6.0 sitting on the engine stand. I'm just looking to achieve 400ish rwhp with cam only, boltons, and LS6 IM....wont be spraying it either. thanks

You should be pretty close to 400RWHP on an LS6 intake. I had that same combination and put down 398RWHP w/ bolt-ons (LS6 intake) and a crappy tune. The one thing I didn't like is how much time I spent tinkering in HPTuners trying to get the car to not buck at light throttle/low speed times. Other than that it pretty much screamed above 4K rpms and lopes like crazy through a cutout!

you will be fine.. but like veryone else said, make sure you do the supporting things, timing chain oil pump and so on..... and make sure if you see a problem during the swap, FIX IT!
