LY6 cam choice NA and going FI will the LS9 work both?

[sand man]

i spun 4 con rod berings after losing the oil presure in my camed 5.3

and ill be buying a 6.0 LY6-L96 iron 6.0 with L92 top end

will this cam work good with 9.6:1 CR on a NA vehicle?

im not looking at making all the power i want from the cam i just dont want to lose any while NA and have a good daily driver
and as soon as i gather some money ill buy a turbo kit or cutom build one shooting for 500 to 600whp

my curent setup is dead 5.3 LH6 with 365/369 at the wheels and looking for close numbers with the LS9 cam on a 6.0 LY6 , is that achivable?

previuous cam on 5.3 was 219/222, 0.607"/0.602" 111+4 LSA 109 IC LSL/LXL lobes
new LS9 cam on 6.0 will be 211 / 230 0.562"/0.558"(sdpc) or .558/.552 (LPE)
122.5 LSA


BTW we have dynod a 2500hd LY6 4wd with full exhaust only and the result was 310 /342 to the wheels with 87 gas through a 6L90E and 14bolt FF

bought the 6.0 today!, will get back home and clean it up and change seals,gaskets, and check every thing else, wish me luck .

That cam would be a very odd one on a NA motor, but on a boosted or sprayed motor would be fine. I would think something with a lower LSA good size lift and more duration on the intake side. I think that motor would love a 33x/33x .6xx/.6xx cam as long as you add a good size converter.

Again, the ls9 cam is picking up around 40 horses on a 6.2. Should be similar on an l92 headed 6.0

Okay but that isn't even close to the 75hp gains possible with a well speced cam.... I am sure you got a whole lot more than 40hp with your cam.

Right, but the LS9 is the best budget cam possible. A full swap, springs and all, for under 400$. Also, no stall is needed.

thats my #1 reason for thinking about this cam, other choices will add up to at least 1200$ cam 450+springs 250 + rods 150 + front cover and sproket 80

although i have the older cam form the 5.3 like push rods,springs,front cover,melling oil pump,new timing chain...actually all i need is a cam and gaskets+ seals...

any opinions?

this is my old motor

if you can see any damage that i messed please point it out
