You will see more power but not much sound, In my opinion I would say its not woth it unless you are running forced induction. I would go bigger

Fine you? How do they do that.

I would go bigger than a Z06 cam.

Go with one of the sleeper cams made by several of our sponsors. They'll make more power than the Z06 cam (good power in their own right at that), and still retain stock drivability and sound.

Thunder Racing, MTI, Lingenfelter, and one or two others all have made to order sleeper cams available for sale. I don't really know enough about them to recommend one over the others, but I don't think you could go wrong with any of them.

yes you can put LS6 valves in, but it is always recommended to do a valve job when you change valves to make sure they seal right.
