Default Swap for LS6 Cam

I don't have alot money to spend so i'm thinking about getting an ls6 cam from a used 02'-up Z06.

I know i'll need some new valve springs and i'm sure the stock pushrods will work, but will I need a new oil pump?

The low-end will probably only be slightly better than my stock one, but how is the high-end, rwhp-wise?

Also, will I need tuning, or will my stock tune work?

Car is a 2000 SS.

Mods at the time of cam install will be Ls6 Intake, LTs, catted Y and catback.

not worth going through all the work of a swap to install such a small cam. save up more money and get a better cam or spend the money on some more bolt ons.

Low end won't rise at all. Top end has decent improvement. Like said above the oil pump is great insurance but not required. You won't need tuning but you will need to raise the rev limiter to get the most out of it. It peaks much higher than the stock cam.
