Default Cam Question

any possible way you can add a hi performance cam example.. g5x3 to ls6 z06 engine and get an additional 70 to 90 hp at the rear wheels without doing anything else to the motor.. No head work all stock...

Its common, we gain 70+ to the rear wheels with headers and a cam. The valvetrain needs springs and pushrods, but thats it.

420-430rwhp is common on stock LS6 heads with the X3.

If the heads are milled, or bigger valves installed, that will severely Limit your options.


Who CNCed them?

Im not really sure .. i had a local shop install a head and cam package and i was told that the stock heads were sent out to be cnc'd. Im not sure of the cam but i can hear its not stock.. The dynoed showed 425 rwhp with the timing back 4 degrees.. I would think with a head and cam package i would see more than 425..
