id say go with a bigger cam..ls6 cam is pretty small..and mill ur heads and ull get just about the same flow as ls6 heads...

A ls6 cam will help some but not a whole lot considering you have the LQ9. If you are looking to keep the stock sound and drivability with just a little more power I would go for it. If you are looking for more power and a better sound I would go bigger.

Pretty sure you have an LS1 cam in there right now, and with your cubes an LS6 cam wouldn't be worth the time, effort and money IMO. People are putting MS4 cams in stock 346 cube LS1s (yeah, bad decision for some) so putting an LS6 cam in your 364 isn't much. Maybe something in the 220s duration would be good?

And if you have 317 heads right now I think those flow just as good as LS6 243 heads. Also, you have a larger bore and higher compression in that LQ9 so not sure how LS6 heads would work there.

And I think most LQ4/LQ9 guys go with L92 heads as proven performers. If you don't get any more help here ask the question in either the Gen III or Gen IV internal engine section below \/
