New Kentucky boy & I don't drive a truck.

I'm leaning towards ls6 cam since i have one readily available for less than $100, but finding cheap ls6 springs seems to be the problem.

What kind of gains does an ls1 cam have over a 5.3? I have no idea how cams work...

you can get zo6 yellows on ebay for 50 bucks and i don think the ls1 is as much of a gain but the ls6 is alil higher

the cheapest i usually see the ls6 springs go is $80-$100 on ebay.

Are all ls6 springs yellow? there is a set for sale on ebay now, it says they are oem, but they're not yellow and they're in a comp cams box. I don't want to get ripped off and have them be stock ls1 springs, ya know?

go to sdparts.com and buy a set for $60.

hey guys,

i was just reading on ls1tech that the ls6 cam will hurt a stock 5.3 and not help. Is there any truth to this?

no not at all...... who on ls1tech sead that if you have the l33 all aluminum ho with the 490 something lift cam in it it may but i still wont the say the ls6 cam is a good upgrade do a thread on it i no someone on hear knows all the cam specs and we will find out it would be a good thread

Disgree whole heartedly.

Welcome to the site. You are our second member to have the 5.3L/T-56 combo in a 240. You and MunsonAuto (Tanner) should talk.

Man, don't listen to those guys over there. The LS6 cam and yellow springs would be fine. But hey--if you are doing a cam--why not get something bad arse now? Why waste the time on a cam install and do a small one?????

We have community dual valve spring compression tools we share. It takes not time to change out springs...
