Default Zo6 Cam...

I was just curious, I have a 2000 Coupe with 35K miles...if I throw a 2002 ZO6 cam in it and swap out nothing else (rods, springs etc.) will I be okay for a little while?

I am also running a 100 shot of DRY Nitrious.

waste of time and money IMO...and a second no here...if your going to do a cam swap get something that will acually be worth it..you wont make much more power with the LS6 cam

You'll need LS6 02 and above springs, and you should really do longer PR's (7.425") as well.

Folks over on LS1Tech do this swap all the time, typically gain ~ 20 RWHP. No tune should be necessary.

I have the cam, paid 90 bucks for it, and to be honest, my wife is not too keen on me buying anything else, this is why I posted this thread asking this question...what is the price you are looking at for the springs?
