Does anyone know the stock grind of the Z06 and has anyone tried any of the cams out their for the LS1 cars? From the flow numbers they posted in HITech the LS6 seems way under-cammed.Any info would be great.

A "radical" cam will shift the torque curve to a higher rpm, not what GM wants in a streetcar. The low-end grunt is one of the things that make this a great car.

The LS6 cam is a compromise of fuel mileage, HP, low-end torque and emissions. True you can use a more radical cam, but at some point you have to ask yourself, is it a streetcar or a racecar? If your answer is "race car", don't just stop at the cam!
