I am about to price out what the difference would be between going with h/c, and then just cam and necessary valvetrain equipment.

How many horses could I gain from a set of heads with this cam? I still need the LS6 intake as well.

But shipping should relieve you of tax.
I am telling you, if you can get the heads. Not sure about power difference numerically, but pull wise, I am sure it will be worth it. Or do like me and others, do the cam, fall in love with the pull factor, then get the $$$ for the heads and fall in love all over again.

Well, this cam does like the spray. Maybe the 231/237 and a 100 shot on stock heads. What sucks is I want to do everything at once so that I only have to pay for tuning once. If I go with heads later on, I still have to pay for tuning a second time since I don't own LS1 edit.

talk to the tuner, some offer xx months of upgrade retunes, or they may. Tuning for adding heads aint bad at all. more or less a little WOT adjustment, maybe timing, but the cam will take more time to tune, so they may work with you. Ask Trevor or Jason @ TSP, they might have some deal for you as well. If TSP is not tuning it, make sure they know about adjusting the min & max MAP values, add 10 to each or you might get repeated p0130 or something, made the trans act up and SES lightup.

That's the only reason I can think of on a LS1/LS6 to crutch the exhaust that far. That is a lot of duration on the exhaust side.

i have the 231/237 on stock heads, it sounds nasty as hell, it has great power, and it will turn some heads
as far as the LM and ORY, i think it is too loud, thats why i will be muffling mine soon, no track numbers yet, but im around 400 at the wheels with a tune from mikey at rapid
i say get

z98, because at the lift vs duration you are getting close to the pistons. So far the most milling I have heard of is .006" of a set of heads w/ 231/237 cam. I myself have a set of .022" milled and wont put them on cause I know there will be contact. Open up the bottom, fly cut the pistons and you have much more to play with.

I wonder if having that cam (TSP231/237) with FLP LT Headers (with cats) would pass the emmisions (meaning that OBDII test) if the car is properly tuned, and all the error codes are erased ?

its fine.i love mine i had my 231/237 cam in for about a month and love it. It makes great power. if you throw in some 3.73 at least and a stall if you got a a4..and some good tunning...that cam kicks ***...it pulls like a ****...i had a tr244...it was nice and yea it had more torqe in the low end....but i was spinning to damn much....with this 231/237 its nice...i use my car as a daily driver...i drive about 20 miles back and forth each way to work..so about 40miles a day to work and also 15 miles to school there and back....5 days a week.had no probs so far and runs great...i kill everyone so far...they may think they got me on the take off...but i love it when i hit about 4000 rpms...its like hitting a button..
