Default Heads/Cams What does everyone have, how much horsepower?

Just curious how much horsepower everyone gained from their head/cam install on an LS1 Engine. What heads and cams do you have, also looking at cars that are daily drivers. I havent got a tune yet on mine curious to see the numbers it pulls in, and wanted to see what the best out there was.

I'm with you man. All I have done to mine is add the lm2 cat back, whisper lid and smooth bellow. Mine is a 2002 so I already have an ls6 intake (Plan on adding lsx but very later down the road) sonow i'm on to making my decision about that headers and cam I want.

I had some CNC 5.7 heads with a custom 234/236 nitrous cam. She made 436rwhp/420rwtq and was docile enough to DD once warmed up. I could have squeezed out more power with a 90/90, TDs, etc...

224/228?

That sounds like a very comfortable daily driving cam, with power "on tap".

Nice grind. Whats the lift and LSA on it?
