Default HP/TQ gains over the LS6 cam

Any documented gains/losses against the LS6 cam? Talking something with similar duration/lift. I have a LQ9 in a Mustang with the LS6 cam, looking for easy gains from top to bottom w/o going radical.

tons of options for you. LS6 cam isn't that great. Anything around 227 duration drives very well and makes good power all Rpm.

Just your basic turbo build - see sig.

Anybody have anything else to add? The Hot Rod LS cam test article has the Crane 210/218 cam gain huge up top but not so much down low over a stock 5.3 cam, so the gains over a LS6 cam have to be less...

Well since you have a turbo it really doesn't matter much since you can just add a little more boost if you're not happy with the power

A GT2-3 should be a nice upgrade with stock driveability.
