how much hp/tq will a 228/228 112lsa cam give me (TSP) on a stock car with only mods in sig.

not much
to see big gains with any cam, you need a Ls6 intake and LT headers

id say mabe 25whp

i'd say 15-18rwhp.

98 + a4 + no supporting mods + big cam = no power

well it does have the stall, but after intake and LT's, what can I expect?

Tranzor

Yep... finish your bolt-ons, then go after the cam.

Cerebrex

doing the cam now because im in the engine and it would be a misallocation of labor to do it later. I'd love to do the bolt-ons first, but that would just be wasted energy when I did a cam later : /

So full exhaust and a ls6 intake is worth 70-80rwhp? I didnt think the stock intake and exhaust was THAT restrictive...

in the mag. corvette fever. stock m6 vette i believe picked up 50+rwhp from a bit of tuning. ls6 manifold, headers, high flow cats, x pipe, 3 in exhaust.

Shouldnt a cam be more like 35-40rwhp then?

Cerebrex

it would make more sense

A good cam w/ a good tune can give you that much of a gain IF all the other supporting mods are done first. Hell I gained 30hp from my "crappy" hotcam and Predator tune.

yeah. some of the truck guys are picking up 30+rwhp from cam only. but different motor also

well if a cam is supposed to give you say 100hp at the wheels. (which is what an agressive cam is supposed to be), then that means if it only gives you 15-18hp that headers and intake would yield a gain of 85hp!!!!! That's just ridiculous.

TexMax

Well, its not the headers and intake alone that would add that. The engine have the ability to breathe more air than stock, therefore the stock manifolds would become much more restrictive when compared to what the engine could be breathing.
