A friend of mine who also post on this site !st hade the LS6 came and switched to Comp 212/218 114lsa Cam! You can PM him if you want and he will be more than happy to let you know his thoughts- CARAZYCUTER 4.8 or I will get him to post in the morning on this! I am gonna buy his LS6 one because I just got a wet kit and have heard that it is a great cam to spray with!

thanks for the info. did the ls6 cam have a lopy idel to it or did it sound relativly stock, and how much would a ls6 cam cost? I want to run a direct port set up and im looking for a good cam to use with nitrious. i know i can go out and buy a bigger cam for it but its my daily driver.

if you've ever pulled up next to a stock Z06. thats how the cam will sound in your truck. I've heard that unless your running a 150+shot of nitrous, not to base your cam on the bottle.
