96.x miles. I want to go back to an LS6 cam and just boost it though. I'm over all the loud, crazy sounding cars.

I'd have to look in my maintence book to be sure but it was around 32,000 miles for the 1st cam swap. Still has stock heads.

Is there a complete gasket kit on the market that would cover everything needed for a head, cam, water punp, timing chain, and oil pump swap available?
