Default 5.7 to 6.0 how bad will my cam be off

Ok so some input please. Last minute decision. I had a cam speed for.my build. Stock internals 5.7 with stage 2.5 tea heads 243s. Milled to 61cc. Profit edelbrock intake and cam specs r 235/242- 621/593 109+3. Needless to say pistons have to b flycut in which I knew that. But just run up on a good lq9 that I can swap out before I have pistons done. Any opinions on how much of a difference the cam will act in this motor. I plan on contacting the man that specd the cam just trying to get a game plan
Early. Car has 4l80 with 410 gear. Converter not purchased but plan on fti 3800 thanks everyone

Extremely minor difference. If you had both together you wouldn't notice much of a difference other than some more power from displacement & compression increase.

I'd run it. Both motors have the same stroke, meaning the valve events are happening at the same time with regards to piston position relative to TDC.

Don't stress about it. If you were going 408 with rectangle port heads then you would have something to be concerned about.

i think the cam and intake would be better on the 6.0 that intake like upper rpm which will be sluggish on a 5.7.so go for the 6.0

Agreed. If a cam works on a 5.7 it will work better on the 6.0 due to the larger bore (with same stroke).

This. Generally an identical cam on two engines - the larger engine will handle the cam better. You'll get more power and a smoother power plant.
