Hi , my buddy have 2000 M6 camaro , the camaro was full exhaust and LS6 manifold then he installed patriot springs 650Lift and 224 224 .581 .581 112LSA , the problem now : the car is very slow , when he was with the stock cam it pulled harder than now at the street , what is the problem ? is the problem from the cam ? or what ?

Was the cam timing set correctly? Was the car tuned after the install?

It SHOULD go faster but I wouldn't go WOT until it is tuned cause the AFR will be way off. Sounds like a tooth off to me......

Before you go through all that again, check the dot to dot and get it tuned.

Then go get it tuned. Youd be surprised at what a good tune will do.
