It's in the C5 I'm buying which smogged in San Diego.

Hey Turbo, the "lift in inches" spec on each cam.. is this the distance in inches that the valve travels (down into the combustion chamber) once actuated by the rocker via the push rod? Thanks again.

Yep. Think of duration as "how long" the valve is open and lift as "how wide" the valve is open (of course, wide here extends downward into the cylinder).

yes, great with factory pieces - but you do need to change the valve springs.

Not to steal this thread but I've been thinking of doing the same (H/C; and yes I live CA so driveabilit/dd is my main concern)...I'm thinking of getting a set of ported LS6/243 heads and say your CAM....thoughts? 2000 C5 MN6 pretty much all stock.

BTW I appreciate this thread.
