Default when tuned to sound stock does cam lose power?

i am looking to get into the mid to low 11's on motor with stock heads.. i was told to use this cam and it could be tuned to sounds stock. my question is, do you lose power when you tune it like that and also is this a good cam to go with?? 228/232 .588/.592 110LSA +2advance. This cam is a custom cam that is ground with Comp XE-R lobes. i need all the advice i can get!!!!!

If you had the stock catback you could put a cutout in and just make it sound stock then and then open the cutout for the race.

If the tuner knows what he is doing then yes it can sound somewhat stock but with that cam being on a 110 it might be tough to do

That cam won't sound stock to anybody who knows anything about LS1's.

Leave it stock if you want it stock sounding.

If you want something to sound remotely like stock you'll want to go with a stealth cam, something in the low 220's at most on at least a 114 LSA. Other than that, it's no use to buy a bigger cam if you want to sound stock. You either want more power, or you want to sound stock. There's very little area between.

Check out the CheaTR cam. Its on a very large LSA. Add a ton of timing to the idle spark tables. Use a quiet yet free flowing exhaust. You can get a bunch of power and still sound like your stock internals to all but the most trained ears.
