Warranty issues with cam

[phantom405]

i've heard of need shorter or longer push rods for the zo6 cam...smaller base circle maybe? i can't remember, but do some research first...

The base circle of the z06 cam is smaller. The diffrence is made up in the LS6 valve stems. Your choices are to buy adjustable rocker arms, diffrent sized pushrods, or just not do anything. Which is what I did. Because the base circle diffrence is very minor. (like .0005" or something) I have over 5k miles on mine without any problems. I have heard of others doing just the same.

you think I can expect similar gains from the z06 cam? And which year do you suggest?

[ForcedInduction]

My only modifications before doing the cam was 3" single outlet exhaust. and an open element cone filter. other than that it was/is stock. i used a 2002 Z06 (LS6) Cam.

does the cam pop right in, and if i get the cam, springs, . itll all fit without problem? I really appreciate this info, also know any one that can put it in for cheap?

I also think a Z06 cam is not a waste, trust me its alot bigger than a stock truck cam by about .100" lift so for the person saying its a waste think again. Thats alot of difference. So i say go for it, cheap and like others said will idle like stock and have lots more pull. ENJOY..

O yea i have NGK iridium plugs and taylor race wires they rock. Cedar Park here dude...

[leochevy2001]

no, the price doesn't include cam, springs, or pushrods.

thanks man, i guess i go ahead and install those iridium plugs into my truck.
i think those platinums need to be swapped out anyway.
