Supporting mods ? With LT's ls6 intake ported tb and good tune you should see of 375-390 hp. In fact I'm looking at the graph right now 375hp 375tq with a so-so canned tune from a hand held tuner. I'd say with a good tune 380-390

I loved that cam on my C5 with all the bolt ons. I was at 370 RWHP. The car was alot of fun. I went to a litte larger cam 228R and AFR heads and lost a little power down low and pick up some up higher in the RPM range.

It's really a nice cam.

Thanks. Did a little reasearch and found it myself. Guess I should reasearch before asking DUMB questions. Sorry guys. Looks like this makes good hp with the stock heads. If emissions was not an issue and my car not a daily driver, would a 228/228 112 lsa be too much?

Since Thunder Racing lobes are proprietary your not running anything but an imposter ..lol j/k relax

Thunder Racings 224 will net you more torque than that. There is only one 224 cam worth using IMO and the TR224 112 lsa is it. Many have tried to copy it and no one has succeded. You can't duplicate their lobes and that's all the difference.

You should be gain approx 35-45 rwhp depending on your setup and supporting mods.. It's far from a "worthless" setup if you ask me.. Going to be great for a daily driven car too..

Would LS6 heads work well with the cam? Possable to hit 400 with them on a A4 non stalled 99 corvette coupe?

i wouldnt consider it worthless, granted i am an m6, i love this cam, i just installed it and have been driving it for 2 days untuned, getting it tuned this saturday, and it pulls like a train, a little surge every now and then, i think the tune will take care of this, great daily drive cam in my opinion, power in almost all rpm ranges

Im just worried because my car is not the 1/4 mile car at all i really dont wanna put in a stall. Its going to be pro dyno tuned. Im just worried because people make it sound like if i dont get a stall the cam is going to be worthless.
