There are two different versions of the LS6/ZO6 cam. Theres a 01 version and a 02-04 version. Im not sure the specs of the 01 version but its slightly smaller than the 02-04 version which is 204/218 Duration @ 0.050, 0.551"/0.541" Lift, 117.5 LSA. You want the 02-04 version if you get one.

BTW the 02 LS6 cam can be worth 25rwhp peak over the LS1 cam but the real story for the 02 LS6 cam is in the upper end of the rpm band the 02 LS6 cam be worth ~50rwhp over the LS1 cam.

Another mild cam is the LPE GT2-3 that is bascially a LS6 cam on steroids.
