Hey guys I'm putting a 6.0 from an 03 escalade in place of my 4.8 in my 01' silverado. I got sum 243 heads to put on it. I want some opinions on what cam to use... i would like to put a Z06 cam in. but i don't know if that's a good idea??? I want to shoot for 400hp. Is this possible? Is there a better stock option?
p.s. sorry if this has been threaded be for. For some reason my search hasn't worked for a couple days. It just says no matches...???

Z06 cam way to small, you have an idea where you want to make the 400 rwhp at, down low up top ?
any other plans? good choice on heads

the trailblazer I6 stall is the one u want if you want a stock stall. otherwise go with something like the circle d 278 for more stall at still a good price. also i have the 224r on a 114 in my 5.3. it lopes pretty hard with the cutout open. i think the same came in a 6.0 would be awesome for dd and would still be sort of a sleeper as long as you dont run it through an open cutout lol

I wouldn't run a 224 in a 6.0 with a factory stall speed converter, even my baby cam in my 5.3 benefited from a higher stalled converter. Yes, you can run it that way, but the setup won't be optimized...get a matching converter and get yourself up into the meat of the powerband faster.
