    What year LS6 cam?

    I am looking into LS6 cams since they are cheaper, and supposedly easier to tune for idle and things. What year would be best? I know in 02 they made some changes.

    If your gonna do all that work to put a cam in, I would do it right the first time by putting a big cam in there so you really get power...Don't quote me but I heard that the ls6 cam gives you more torque than HP...

    Nope - with its intake valve timings, the LS6 cam is intended for 6000+ RPM usage. That's HP territiory.
