Well, if you plan on swapping cams no sense in doing it 2 times. get the one you want or think you want first time around. Save time/money.
I would invest in some suspension and maybe a converter before you start putting engine parts on.

does this include springs? you'll probably need a retune to get the most out of that cam too.

you should gain 2-3 tenths with this cam after a tune.

I made 370/370 with that cam, with not all bolt ons, def had 380 in it, for that price, you can't beat it, you will need to get the ls6 springs though.

If your going to run Exaust Manifolds and a stock stall it would be a great cam. You WILL need to change your springs for the ls6 cam.

LS6 cam really shimes up top at peak hp, as where other cams are going to give you WAY more under the curve. I agree with above, gonna do it, do it right the first time and get something more aggressive

I ran 12.14 with this cam and bolt ons (see sig). My M6 will make a difference. I shift around 6500.

Seriously man, if you are strapped for cash, and know someone thats worth a **** with tuning, its a great bang for your buck. Everyone will tell you to go bigger, if I had stuck with it, and done all bolt on's, I could have made better power than a lot of people's setups with bigger cams. It's all about the tuning my friend.

For some reason I thought you needed 7.45 pushrods with the .05 smaller base circle. I just got one to put in so I was needing to know to.
