ls6 cam gains
I search but i keep finding cars with ls6 intake, ls6 heads or ls6 blocks. So this is why i ask
How much with i gain with an ls6 cam on my 99 camaro with a cat back and fipk? I assume that there is not tune needed and i will see no surging or bucking wien i am down real low in the rpms because of its size. Charts would be very nice also.
edit:
the only reason i am considering this is because i think my oil pump is slowly going out so i would throw in the cam and springs at the same time as the pump and i am not sure i wan to to mess around with longtubes in california yet.

15-20RWHP To get the most out of the swap I would have a local tuner bump the Limiter to 6200-6300 and shift around 6100-6200...
Buy some LT headers and an LS6 intake before you mess with a cam, your current plan would be doing it *** backwards...

If I were you I would by some Longtubes like pacesetters with the ory for like 665 and a LS6 intake then do a cheater cam you would have stock driveabilty and it would be very reliable and make good sleeper power.
