Default What can I expect from this cam ...

I'm putting in a new cam. It's a single pattern with the following specs:

216 .587 114

What kind of horsepower gains can I expect with the mods in my sig?

Curently the car is putting down the following:

333 RWHP / 351 RWTQ (SAE)

10-20 HP from a cam!?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> What's up with that? I've heard of people getting 30 from the LS6 cam with no headers. I was hoping for more...

You need a cam with more duration than that if you want to gain 30 hp. Try a 224/224.
