Default smallest cam for 400 rwhp???????????

i was just wondering what the smallest cam possible would be to achieve 400 rwhp?

the car is an m6 with 3.73 and most of the bolt ons. all opinions welcome and all will be appreciated.

I agree. Although something slightly smaller could also. With stage 2 heads though...I'd imagine the LS6 cam could get pretty damn close.

400+ rwhp has been achieved with the C2 cam + bolt-ons and it is considerably smaller then 230 deg. duration. The C2 cam from MTI is 224/224 .581"/.581" on a 112 or 114 lsa.

Yes that is correct. I have a buddy with the C2 and all the bolts in his M6 pushing 417rwhp on stock heads.

The hotcam 218/227 .525/.525 112lsa can get 400rwhp out of stock heads. I made 380rwhp w/ the Hotcam with mac headers+duals/lid/tb with no tuning. I still need to get an LS6 intake, ASP pulley, free mods and LS1 Edit tuning... The hotcam will be easier on your valvetrain and can get you 400rwhp w/ all the boltons and tuning.

I got 405 rwhp/375rwtq from MTIs new Stealth Cam with Stage 1 heads and bolt-ons in a C5. My C5 sounds so stock it's amazing. You'd never suspect there is a cam in it!

Couldn't you get the HP through lift rather than duration?
