    I am going to run 243's, but they came off a '01 LS6, so they
    have the weaker "blue" springs.

    Getting a "2001 Camaro" cam for $20. Along with fresh 243's for $500
    is a good budget upgrade of the stock truck parts for a turbo build.

    The extra lift of the Z06 cam would be nice, but I think the LQ9 cam
    will provide a nice power increase with its much greater intake duration
    over the LM7 cam, while maintaining stock cam manners.

    When you compare the LQ9 cam vs. the 2001 Z06 cam
    both run 207 intake duration
    the LQ9 cam has shorter 196 vs 217 exhst, but thats ok on turbo set-up
    and the Z06 cam has 0.050 more lift. I could put on 1.8 rockers and pick-up +0.030

    They really are not that far apart ..............
