I have a 2002 ls1 with 7000 miles and would like to know
what all is needed to put a Z06 cam in. Would I need head work??
I know the intake is Z06. I also think the Z06 cam is not that
big of a cam. I may be wrong. Help me out guys. Do I need to
get my heads ported??

If you want a small cam like that you should at least go with the GT2-3 cam. It is only slightly bigger, 207/220,.571/.578, 118.5 LSA. It will give you about 10 more HP and you can use the LS6 springs.It has the same idle as the stock cam also.

I am looking for something with a stock sounding idal. A quiet car..
I thought the only way to do that is with a Z06 cam

pushrods need to be the 7.425 length, perfect fit. I had no noise, and it was the perfect pre-load on them when I had that cam. The base circle is slightly smaller than the stock cam.

Sorry if I was incorrect, but I was told all `01- up LS1's have upgraded springs.
I assumed they were LS6 Springs
Don't tell me they have the same crap the `97-`00 cars have. Do They ?

But that's not what I was referring to with my post...it was the assertion that 2001-2002 LS1s all had the upgraded LS6 valve springs. There are so many myths about LS6 blocks and this and that and the other that people get really confused and don't know what is right and what isn't. There is a lot of bad information out there...
