Question Lingenfelter GT-11 cam and CNC'd heads

Does anyone have feedback on this cam for a 2006 CTS-V?

Cam info...
Lingenfelter GT11 camshaft will produce excellent power and still have a streetable idle for automatic or six speed manual transmission equipped vehicles. Tests have shown 500 HP in the new LS2 6.0L engine with stock manifolds and catalysts.

Suggested in 350-427 CID applications

Camshaft specifications: 215/231 duration @ .050 .631/.644 with 1.7 ratio rocker arms 118.0 CL. This camshaft will require dual valve spring kit 26921-KIT. Camshafts ground by Competition Cams for Lingenfelter.
I am also looking at their CNC'd LS2 heads with their dual valve springs. Which intake valve diameter would be best with stock cubes and this setup?

Stainless steel one piece 2.02” diameter intake valves, 1.57” stainless steel exhaust valves – per pair $170.00
or
Stainless steel one piece 2.055” diameter intake valves, 1.57” stainless steel exhaust valves – per pair $440.00
I would like to get a good increase in power without having to add headers and retaining the quiet cadillac purr instead of a lope.

Thanks

I'd call LPE and ask them, they are very knowledgable on the subject of CTS Vs. They had 3 of them in the shop last time I visited. LPE and Comp work very closeley to make durable, dependable combos that run.

the headers arent what causes the lope, its the cam. They make "cadillac cams" for LS1's but I forget who makes them, If you really want to be quiet i say run headers through to a stock muffler and then have a cutout. Also buy a cadillac cam and it would be almost impossible for them to know

I agree with Torkman15, call LPE and pick their brains, Jeff Myers is very good to work with and will go out of his way to find the best combo for you.

Thanks for the responses. I will call LPE and talk to them.

I also realize that it is the cam and not the headers that make lope. I meant that I didn't want headers because of the increase in exhaust noise and also that I didn't want a lopey cam. I just typed it wrong the first time. Thanks for the correction though.
