Being that you have an 02 with the ls6 intake, I believe with most bolt on mods, you should see close to 400 based upon others out there on ls1tech with the same trans. However. Others have seen less as the dyno's are only a tool and not necessarily accurate. The Ls6 was a package designed for the lighter weight vette which made an extremely balanced stock package. I would go with a bigger baby cam if I were in your shoes and reach out to Martin Smallwood. He will also have a Black Friday sale and save you $50 come this Friday on a new cam.

Martin is an LSX cam expert and is widely known throughout the forums for his spec'd cams. After the first of the year, I will be opening up my LS6 long block as ifs going under the knife for a heads, cam, intake and trans/stall swap. I am considering selling the entire top end setup as they are real LS6 243 heads with the hollow/sodium valves. My engine only has 8100 miles as it sits. It does not get out much haha.

I did not. My neighbor did out of his CTS-V with an LS6. That would be manual.

You mention a while back that you were going to do a head/cam swap on your ls6, how much would you sell the 243 heads?
