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...
yeah munson auto is the reason i joined. The reason I was planning an ls6 cam is my friend has one he'll sell me for like $75 or so. I had to walk out on my job this past week for some dumb reasons & i'm trying to keep this swap under $3,000 - so money is tight.

Can you suggest a good cam/spring combo for me that I could possibly find used for under, say, $200?

and what do you mean about the community spring compressor? I went and bought a universal overhead spring compressor today at harbor freight for $10. Not sure how good it'll work tho.
