On a 2001 Z06 that is all stock motor, would the stock cam work or would the $1500 for installation of a more blower friendly cam be money well spent with KB install?

We're very glad to hear you guys love your kits! That's what its all about. This is the kind of talk that drives us to keep on doing what we're doing!

Enjoy; I am also enjoying the Hell out of mine!!

Regards,

Ken

Hope this helps.
