Default Ls6 cam

Where can i get em? I looked on google and ebay and couldnt find anything. Do i run a big risk buying a used ls6 cam? I dont want to go aftermarket cam cause my truck is daily driven and want something somewhat fuel sensible. Any input would help thanks!

Keep a close eye on the for sale section on LS1Tech. The Z06 guys are always swapping to bigger cams. LS6 cams usually go for around $150 over there.

The 'low lift' from comp would also be a good cam for what u are looking for. Low mile cams should be ok to swap in, just be sure never to buy used valve springs. GM yellow springs work for the hot cam if im not mistaken and they can be had for somewhere around $80 a set.

i would prefer going with a gm ls6 only becuase of factory reliability, which brings me to my next qurstion, how reliable are the comp cams and will it drain gas mpg ?

you will not be disappointed in this cam. put it in and get a good tune and gas mileage will be fine. as long as you can keep your foot out of it. you can also run yellow ls6 springs with this cam
