Whats a proven cam on a ly6 /l92 6.0. no flycutting im totally lost as to picking the right cam for my ly6. with l92 heads. i want something that gives proven power. all the research im doing is not going too well. not finding alot of info on cammed ly6s. i will not be milling heads and dont wanna flycut the pistons. i was thinking about a 228/232 maybe. or i was even thinking to just put in a stock ls3 cam until i can decide.

Checkout all our LS3/L92 based camshafts in our 2010 camaro section. The 229/236 camshaft would be a great option for you & make good power in the 6.0l. We also offer a 231/236 camshaft that will make a few more peak hp. Checkout www.texas-speed.com, we have engine dyno data for each camshaft we offer. That should help you to be able to study each camshaft graph individually!

The question is what are you looking for, a max effort cam, or daily driver, street, street /strip, etc.....
All you are doing in essence is picking and choosing where and how you want your power curve to be..... Just do not lose focus and pick a cam chasing a dyno vs real world application.... The mega,superman, killa, death cams may look good for peak power but people need to be realistic and for most driving applications, most people spend 95-98% driving between the range of .100-.400 vs 2% @ .500-.600...... If this is a strip or race car, then i can see using a max effort cam..... I would not go with a max effort cam and expect 100,000 mile out of the motor either, race motors do not last (usually) 20-40,000 miles maybe..... There are compromises that always must be made when designing a setup..... With those pistons and comp, also no milling, you should be ok, you prob could get away with lot more... I would maybe look at some lift to get some extra power under the curve.....
