Look for power I just got a 2000 M6 Z28. Its has 4.10s w/eaton posi, and a K&N FIPK. My Question to you guys is I want to do a head and cam swap. What head should I go with? I plan to use the AFR Cam (224/228 .581 114LSA) or CompCams XE-R 224/230 .581/.588 114LSA. I know I need a LSX manifold. What headers should I go with. Do I need to swap out my injectors? Do I need to upgrade my fuel pump.What about the MAF and Throttle Body? I plan to drive this everywhere around SoCal. So if you think that the cams I'm looking at are too big, please let me know. I rather do this than a blower. I like that old school muscle car sound but I need it to be driveable. How much power should I expect?
well since u are already lookin at the AFR cam then u might as well go with their 205cc heads also. they are the best out there but they are pricey. If u want to save some money u can go with TSP's budget LS6 heads. they are making good numbers and are inexpensive. an LS6 manifold would work nice, or u could drop the extra cash for a Fast 90/ NW 90mm TB combo. BYUNSpeed has good prices on them. might need bigger injectors. SVO 30# injectors would work good. stock fuel pump should be ok. But u can always go with the racetronix Plug-n-Play fuel pump system to be sure. Flowtech and Pacesetters make LT headers for cheap. Or you could get some Kook's headers or QTP's. They are the 2 best out there but are real pricey. Just make sure u get the smog legal stuff since u are in Cali. U can find all the parts i listed from the sponsors on the main page.

You will need shorty, CARB approved headers, high flow cats in the stock location, and the biggets cam a TR224 plus a good tune in order to pass SMOG.
Do some searches on the CheaTR cam. Pat G had a lot of info on it some time ago, which may or may nto show up in Tech's FUBAR search engine. For Cali legal I would stronly consider the CheaTR cam with stock manifolds or shorties.
