can this be put in any truck, or does it have to be an LS1 engine?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Ryan_the_one @ Jun 20 2006, 11:54 AM) [snapback]55800[/snapback]</div>It can go into any LS series motor (4.8, 5.3, 5.7, 6.0) One thing to note is that the base circle on the LS6 cam is smaller than any other LS cam. This is an extra LS6 cam I bought off a friend, I have an entire cam swap package ('02 cam, yellow springs, keepers, and 7.45" Trickflow pushrods), but I want to keep that for when I do get to build a truck after I'm done with school and my priorities can change to more fun. However, several guys on here have good success with just a cam/spring swap. You should be able to get some used LS6 springs for about $50 from a local speed shop or eBay. It's a lot cheaper way to go with really good results. Let me know. KyleQuote:

Removed... my springs may not be compatible since this cam has .550" lift.
It'd be a great cam for your truck Ryan, I have one in my 99 Z71 and it pulls great, I also have a 2500 stall to go with it. It does fine with a stock stall, but I would get at least a 2600-2800 with it. The powerband kicks in at 3k. I'd get the 7.425" rods to go with it.

I would still like to get part # if you don't mind
as well as pic
Ok, sorry for the long reply, but things have been busy. The PN on the end of the cam reads as follows:
5308
S 10
3010
I have detailed pis of the cam. Just shoot me a PM with your email I can send them to. Thanks, Kyle.
Are you positive that it's an LS6 cam and not an LS2? In 2004 both engines were available. The LS2 cam will not work in a GenIII engine due to lack of cam sensor pickup on the camshaft.

I was just looking at it @ Summit, here's the link, specs same, part # same...
http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.a...15&autoview=sku
just wondering if that would be a good match w/ ProCharged 5.3L Ext. Cab and planned 3200 stall...
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(aharrold @ Jul 6 2006, 10:30 AM) [snapback]57257[/snapback]</div>Thanks for checking on that for me. I wanted to go with the LS6 cam for the driveability and for it bein a third the price of any aftermarket cam. I'm sure there are cams that may be better suited for a supercharged application, but this one will no doubtedly rock with that combo... and still have a nice idle.Quote:

OK, I need to gain a few funds... $140 shipped or it's goin on fleeBay in a few days.
That's a bargain. If someone's thinking of getting a cam, that's one I'd buy to stay sane and keep good fuel mileage. :thumb:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(RedHeartbeat @ Jul 14 2006, 03:31 PM) [snapback]58098[/snapback]</div>Thanks, that is kinda what I was goin for when I bought the cam, but the truck just sold today so I have no use for it. :thumb:Quote:

Greg, last i heard the ls2 cam was the same as the '01 ls6. They changed the ls6 cam in '02 to the one being sold here.
That cam in summit is also a bit different, the duration is the same, but its a .551/.541 and a 117.5 lsa.
Yeah, that's a good safe cam. I may be losing HP in my truck due to the cam and only having stock exhaust. Too much cam and not enough exhaust seems to be a waste. It rocks nice but doesn't perform like a truck with a .610 lift with 234 duration. Not good matching parts right now for me, too much cam and not enough exhaust. I probably would have been better off with a cam such as the LS6 especially now that I have the LS6 243 casting heads.
