Will it help alot no, will it help some, maybe. Will it be interesting back to back dnyo yes and please do it

Neither of those cam is actually bigger than the other anyway
If you think one of those is significantly bigger than you havent a clue. id rather have the 01-02 cam just due to the LSA.

I wouldn't do it, going into an engine is always a risk. Nick a bearing, drop a lifter etc. all for trying to gain an extra 10 rwhp. The risk wouldn't be worth the reward to me but but you could probably pick up 10 rwhp. The difference in the lift is about that same as you would get stepping up to a 1.8 rocker and you get a little extra duration but not much.

He doesn't want to spend any money on cam right now, that's why it's a free shot at a little power, and when you add in waht an ls6 will give a 98-00 car, and subtract that from the numbers on a 01-02 car, then it makes me think there might be somehting there since that is two of the three or four big differences in between the years. RIGHT? ANybody else? And how much will the only significant difference in the cams make, the LSA! IT is pretty significant. What does this change?

Factored in just getting him to buy some slp rockers with a 1.85 or so, but the money!!!!! almost five hundred for them and none cheaper than three. This is just cheaper and i got pen magnets and smooth hands for the cam

well here is how i look at it, you are not spending any money buying the cam, and looking at the specs it it obviously better, not much but hey you didnt pay for it and i know you have nothing to do on the weekend. and its really cool how someone says not to do it and they dont even have a car that runs so i say just do it, it cant hurt

So far, it's awesome, but i need a tune really bad. Idle makes me hard though, if that says enough. Really feel the difference after 2 grand. I say do it, worth every penny so far
