Yeap, but it is more of a FI (turbo) cam.
Check out the MTI Stealth cams.
Stealth I 220/220, .581/.581 115 lsa
Stealth II 224/220, .581/.581 116 lsa, XE-R lobes

um, no offense but why did you buy a cam you didnt even know the specs of
depending on what your looking for the gt2-3 might not be what your looking for. if all you want is a stock sounding car with a bit more power then look into the 02+ ls6 cam. like the 02 ls6 cam the gains are only felt from 4k+, bottom end is changed very little from the stock cam.

Can you still cancel your order?

The LS6 cam truly is a 'stealth' cam. 99% of the people that hear cars with LS6 cams don't even know they have them.
I was refering to the GT2-3, but JRP posted before I could.
Of course LS6 is a good choice but the Stealth will have more power under the curve

for starters the MTI cam is more than what i want.if u check the specs of the mti and the lingenfelter the mti is bigger.and i didnt need to know the specs cause i have a very good friend who knows his stuff n he said for what i want this is the cam.you wont know i have a cam.and my whole thing is appearing stock.when im done ill be lookin at almost 500 horse n sounding and lookin totally stock.not exactly an easy thing to do.im choosing everything very carefully n checking w/ many people first.

whats your planned setup for 500hp (and i assume you mean flywheel hp)? most bolt on and gt2-3 cam only setups i've seen put out 380-390rwhp m6. you'll need a great pair of heads to go along with it as well. might want to check out the new TTP "ls6 sleeper" cam as well, seemed to put out nice numbers, check the dyno section.

lingenfelter intake manifold.
That will set you backwards, the LPE (ie: WEIAND) manifold is the worse flowing of all aftermarket intakes, heavy, no O-ring seals (Old fashionned gaskets), not to mention heat soak (not worth being considered for street)
Get a LS6 composite manifold, it is way better.

I thought that was the direction you were going.
