i have ls6 long block, thought about putting heads and cam on my 2 k ss....is it worth the effort for the return in power increase?

 

*scratches head*

Why not just swap the LS6 as a whole into your SS ?

what he said.

There was one 02 LS6 engine w/bolt on's that made 405rwhp in an fbody on the board.

 

Just don't forget to change PCM's <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />

A transplant LS6 F-body with bolt-ons raced me on the highway before I installed the Heads/Cam . . . I B!T(H-SLAPPED him all over the place <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

The LS6 has a .5 point higher compression among other minor details that will screw with your car's performance with the wrong programming.

 

how much do you want for the heads or you want to trade any thing

 

i agree with the rest of them besides the ls6 heads and cam (ditch this cam while youre at it too) which are better, the ls6 block is a better block than the ls1 block in your car now and the intake pcv system etc etc. just swap it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

The PCM only knows about compression ratio indirectly via the knock sensors. Some parameters may need to be modified to optimize performance but the LS1 tune will not be harmful.
