I need a cam! I have a 00 M6 WS6 bone stock and I want to do a cam and a LS6 intake. What cam would yal recommend for a daily driver? I also plan on doing 4.10 gears. What parts would I all need? I've very new with the LS1 stuff so I just need some info. I'm looking a 400rwhp. Let me know something.
Thanks,

As for a DD cam to hit 400whp with, id check into something like my TR230/224. i made 386whp with a stock ls1 intake, so with an Ls6 i should be close if not over 400whp. As for as what your going need to:
*=optional
1. Cam of choice
2. Valvesprings
3. hardened pushrods
4. New retainers and locks*
5. valve spring compressor
6. new lifters, optional but good to do for a high milage car, this will require pulling the heads
7. Front cover gasket, water pump gaskets, front seal, new crank bolt
8. Timing chain*
9. Oil pump*
10. Tool of choice to hold up the lifters
11. Various tools, and fluids(oil, coolant)
alot of people choose to replace the oil pump and timing chain while they are in there. Good luck!
