search the dyno section i believe one guy picked up 34 horsepower tuned, it also depends on the year of your car because the 98-99 had bigger cams then the following years.

stock 2000 C5 MN6, catback exhaust and will be installing a Vararam and an underdrive pulley at the same time. Would like to be around 350 RWHP.

yeah, it will do that easy.
But being a 2000 (rod bolts being an issue), I would consider a cam with lower shift points. Something like 214/224 .600/.600 113+2 LSA

What does lower shift points refer to? How much of an issue are the weaker rod bolts, if I pushed it to 400-450 RWHP would I need to change them out? Thanks for the responses.

Ahh, thanks. How about the MTI X1; 230 227 .591 .571 112? Will that one not have to spin as high? Would my best bet be to talk to Patrick G and pay for a custom spec'd cam?

CheaTR cams are designed to be used stock manifolds. I would say 350 Rwhp should be no problem
