    04 LQ9 is in now the mods start....cam on a budget

    got the 6.0 tuned and its great but stock....Im thinkin about an 02 Z06 cam and springs would give it that little extra and its cheap but has anybody got any numbers on this and is it worth the time and effort?

    wait till a sale comes up on a used cam, the 6L will want a bigger cam than a stock z06 one.

    Worth time and effort? Imo NO not for the very little gains you might achieve. Like allen mentioned id wait it out and get the dual springs and push rods

    Another +1, there's more and more 224s and 228's popping up in classifieds on all the sites about as cheap as LS6 cams. Everyone seems to be going massive.
