Re: ls6 cam in my truck.
I have Many thoughts about the differences of these two cams, but Matt I would like to know why you think '02 over '01 cam?..just for new ideas sake 
EDIT: Thank you whiteZ71 for that link. I would agree that the design engineer of the cams knows what the cam specs are
I now believe what they have listed at Scoogin Dickey Chevrolet and GMpartsdirect.com to be incorrect and headache-causing information that they need to fix.

Re: ls6 cam in my truck.
I've always heard that the 01 is a better choice for our trucks and there's a good reason for that.The 01 has a ls of 116 and the 02 is 117.5. I still run the 01 ls6 cam in my truck. It's one of the best mods I've done. It made over 30 hp to the rear wheels.

Re: ls6 cam in my truck.
You can find it on the Comp Web site or you can call any of the sponsors who order cams from Comp. I ordered my custom grind from Trevor at Texas Speed and Performance.

Re: ls6 cam in my truck.
Shark-FYI I put the 02 LS6 cam in my whipple charged 6.0 and it didn't pick up at all. That was with no tuning. It only ran for a few days so I didn't have a lot of seat time but now I have it back together WITH tuning, now with ported heads too, and I gained 23 horsepower total. So results may vary but when, not if, I do it again I will go with one of the Comp cams. But here's a fictitous example of my luck: I could remove a nitrous kit from someones truck at the track immediatley after it reduced his times by a full second, put it on my truck and would do good to see 2 tenths! My advice is try it if it is cheap enough, but if you have the $$ go with an aftermarket cam.
