204/218 551/541 on a 117 lsa. it will idle stock but gain you some decent power above 3k. i put one in my truck and noticed a big diffrence, its suposto be like 50hp. if your looking for something with a notacible idle maybe go with a hotcam i had one in my car and it ran good even untuned and had a big diffrence esp over 4500. its like a 218/228 and 525/525 in a 112lsa. so the lift is a lil smaller but it depends on what you want. im sellin mine if your intrested.

I wouldn't bother with it. If you have to go through the effort of a cam and spring swap, you may as well make it worth your time. I think with the LS6 cam you would be kicking yourself down the road for not putting in something bigger while you had the engine opened up. You would probably be happy with on the 224/224 duration cams.
