So some folks are gonna say - yeah, it's worth it. Some will say - no, it ain't worth it. Some will say - it depends on how you're using the car/truck and what your expectations are. The tests were done on an LM7 with a spring upgrade - a requirement if you want to leverage the cam upgrade.
At the end of the day -- you're gonna have to decide what YOU think and then make a choice - there's data in the test. But others' subjective opinions are useful too, provided you understand they're subjective.

If I remember right, the Schwartz Vega ran an LS1 intake with LS6 cam, lighter springs, a 98-02 Camaro 75mm intake and computer. It was alleged to have 400 hp but I’m not sure of that’s whether it was at the flywheel or at the tires.

The early one is much preferred for 5.3 use because it has more low end torque. Likely because of the tighter LSA

Will make over 400hp, at significant loss of torque. https://www.hotrod.com/articles/ls-cam-test-comparison/

You remember incorrectly, it was an LS7 camshaft.
