Default 2000 LS1 Questions

First, I bought Will Handzels book on how to build HP LS1 engines. I read it.

I bought a 2000 LS1 shortblock with 12000 miles as my base. How do I identify the cam thats in it? THere are no OEM numbers like 125XX...like the book says. On the rear of the cam I found a small etched barcode and 3 rows of numbers. They are 0965 then S 19 then 0144. Is this the stock cam?

I am building a 67 camaro for a driver and for some corner carving/road racing stuff. My goal is 400-500 fly wheel horsepower on fuel injection. Will port matched LS1 or LS6 heads, TR224 or FM13 Cam and good headers get me there? My goal is a TKO600 behind it. Since I am building an entire car right now, my engine budget is limited. I want power idle-6500 rpm. I have an LS1 intake, will an LS6 intake give me much below 6500?

THanks, Shannon

0965 on the cam is the last 4 of the GM Part Number.

Which according to the book you have means it came out of a '99 or '00 T/A or Camaro........

Specs:- PN12560965 198/209 0.500"/0.500" LSA119.5*

Awesome, thanks. I was hoping it to be a better cam, but now I get to choose the one I want.
