    The ls6 cam is a great cam for boost..not sure if it was this site or performance trucks but a guys made some crazy numbers on a dyno with ls6 cam and boost in a 4.8. i used a 04 ls6 cam in my N/A 5.3 and then switched to a tr220 cam and didn't gain a dam thing at the drag strip and both felt like they made about same power

    ya, 15 hp is not worth messin with. after the work and $'s spent getting it in the truck i would be less than happy. with the weight of my avalanche i would like some more umph off the line, the converter i got dose not feel like it has any stall so a cam that would only gain up top would hurt bad, i herd the zo6 cam makes good power down low?, but i guess thats why i started this thread. i read some posts saying some cams are making 100+ hp at the crank, is that even possible? thanks

    I say quit playing "which cam will work best with my setup" and just contact Patrick G and give him $25 and all your specs of your setup , he will work his magic and email you detailed cam specs, contact the grinder he specs your cam to and enjoy the power. That way it takes out all the guessing and "what if's". You will be credited back the $25 from the cam grinder he sends you to.

    Don't get me wrong off the shelf grinds are great but a custom ground cam specific for your setup is better. My .02
