ls6 cam power gains?
I was thinking of getting an ls6 cam from sdpc they seem to have a pretty decent kit and I was wondering if anyone has gone this route and what kind of gains they saw with and without tuning.My current mods are slp long tubes y to corsa cat-back,slp lid,and mass air,The car is an 01 ta ws6 m6.
I dont really want a super crazy lope just something to give it alittle more umph that is why I think this is the cam for me,any help appretiated.

I am not sure so dont hold me to this, but the stealth one is a small cam. 220/220 581/ 581 so because its not very aggresive I think you will be alright with out a tune for a while. If you have a manual I really dont think it will be a big deal. And of course the tune will get the most power that is possible, but it can be drivin. Good luck!

~25rwhp peak and up to 50rwhp on the top end over the LS1 cam around ~5800 -6200 rpm. See thread for details.

When I was running mine it pulled 376rwhp @ 361 rwtq thru the SLP DD muffler. Probably a good 5+ rwhp left on the table with a cutout. This was with mods in sig minus TR224, Yella Terra's, QTEC. I Also had a LS1 Edit tune performed by Mikey at Repid Motorsports to squeeze some extra power out of it. Before tuning it set at 361 rwhp @ 351 rwtq. So I picked up 15rwhp @ 10 rwtq from a good tune.
My car dynoed bone stock with a lid and catback 315 rwhp @ 326 rwtq so with those bolt ons and LS6 cam I gained 61rwhp @ 35rwtq peak power.
I'm gonna try and post my dyno graphs but Imagestation is not working too well lately so they might not work.

I dont know the LS6 cam specs, but the MTI stealth cams are as follows. 220 220 .581 .581 115 for the stealth 1. And the stealth two is- 224 220 .576 .581 116.
