Very true.................I have that same problem I was looking at getting a turbo specific cam, but ended up getting a used TR Cheater cam Saved some money to put back towards getting a forged short block.
But, if I had a free zo6 cam I would have saved more money and ran that.

they are the heads from the lq4/lq9 truck/suv motors..flow around the same amount as the 243's(ls6 heads), but will drop your compr ratio down in the 9's (not sure of the exact number, but i know LQ4's have 9.4:1).

Yeah, they are aluminum heads w/ LS6 port but with larger combustion chambers. They will bolt right up to a LS1 and should drop the compression ratio by almost a full point. The LQ4 had a compression ratio of 9.41:1 but it also has dished pistons. You can also run a thicker gasket to drop you CR a little more.

204/211 .525/.525 116
'02-'04 LS6 cam:
204/218 .555/.551 117.5
As far as I know the '01 LS6 came with 243's just like the '02-'04 did, and the '01 LS6 is factory rated at 385hp and the '02-'04 LS6 is factory rated at 405 hp, so I guess the 20 hp difference is mostly due to the cam (increased exhaust duration and increased lift on both the intake and the exhaust).

When I referred to cam profile,what I meant was that the cam lobes on the 02/04 are more aggressive,thus allowing the motor to rev quicker.
Check with GMPP for the part numbers...just click on the sponsors logo and go from there.
