I would think not, but there's only one way to find out.

I have a bad copy of the cam card, but the ICL appears to be 111

If you don't you will be very close. I would always check anyway. I takes an extra 10 minutes and you will know what it is.

Josh, I am about to go with a bigger cam also. My heads are milled .055 so I am going to have to flycut.

It might be worth it to cut yours while you have the heads off anyway. I'm going to get all the tools needed to do the job, so let me know if your interested.... What size intake valves on those 6.0 heads?

give me a call.

Those are the same valves I have. So the kit should work fine for you too.

I'll be the guinea pig, and if you want to cut yours after, you can borrow the tools, or whatever. I'll let you know when I'm going to do it. Right now I'm deciding on a cam, right now i'm thinking 236/236 .595 .595 110 LSA
