Default Power To Expect?

I will be taking my car in for a cam swap. Just wondering if anyone is using this cam and how they like it? Anyone have sound clips? Also what kinda of power to expect for this. Comp Cam 238/242 .605 .06 on a 113 LSA. Supporting mods are headers/catback/intake/valvetrain/underdrive pulley/all the other misc that goes into the install.

That is a pretty big cam for a 346. It is going to lope a lot. Also with that much lift and duration, make sure to check the P/V clearance as you might have to flycut the pistons. With the stock LS6 heads, I would guestimate round the 420ish to 440ish range with a good tune.

nice big cam you got there. I have a MS4 cam in my Z06. Haven't gotten mine tuned yet, in the body shop still.

Anyways you shouldn't have to worry about flycutting the pistons. The Ms4 I have is
239/242 .649 intake and .609 exhaust with a 111lsa. sounds mean. I would say with that cam and a good 420-430rwhp. A fast intake and Ls2 tb would give you maybe another 20rwhp.
