Rule of thumb is always go more conservative than you think you need unless this is for a specific application. Most people let their eyes pick out a can without any real understanding that they are completely ruining any low end power. Also when the manufacturer says power band on a certain big cam will be 2500-7500 that is more like 4000-7000. Also if I were you I would keep the LSA a little wider. The top cam is pretty big for an LS6 engine if you still want any passing power around 2000 RPMs. On a side note isn't this car an auto?
