Z06 Head&Cam Swap Ok a friend of mines dad has a Z06. Hes getting heads and cam from MTI i was wondering???
1. if i put his head and cam on my car what numbers would i put out?
2. would i get more power out of a aftermarket cam then the h/c swap?
3. He has a NX system on his z06, is his h/c still good to use on my non-aspriated??
thanks skeeter

Keep the heads! If you have the cash, have them sent out for a Stage 2.5 treatment by TEA.
Match a nice aftermarket cam to the heads and you're set.
If you don't have the cash, install the heads and cam as is and you're looking at some decent power increase anyhow. Most f-bod A4 guys running an ls6 cam on ls1 heads will be putting down about 350-360rwhp. With the ls6 heads, you'll see about 375ish rwhp.
Look into a stall also.

Depending on how you are in the cash department, you also need to replace the valve springs if you are going with something other than the LS6 cam. The LS6 cam isn't that bad really. If you can do a cam but don't want to do springs for whatever reason the biggest cam you can safely go on LS6 springs is 216/220 with like a 525 534 lift or something like that. You didn't mention what year of car your friend's is. I think there is a difference of springs in the 01 motor which isn't as good. The 01 motor also has a much less agressive cam, which I wouldn't bother opening the motor up for really. There might be other issues if the car is an 01 that I'm unaware of. Others should chime in and give you alittle more info. Eithor way, if he is giving you the heads GRAB EM.
