Also, NO this cannot be accepted as "cam only" because this is not a zo6! The thread starter failed to mention the engine swap in the original post. Seriously, could I swap a 502 in my car, fail to mention it, slap a cam in it and go on cz28 and say it is cam only putting down 500rwhp?
Mike, you sound rediculous. The only real power making difference between an LS1 with a G5X4 cam and LS6 with a G5X4 cam is the heads which give about a 10rwhp gain. Regardless it's still a cam only car, because the heads are stock and untouched although it's an LS6 motor.
We're talking about two motors, nearly identical (sans heads) with the same cubes here, and you are trying to compare it to you swapping a 502ci motor in your car
.Quit overexaggerating and beating a dead horse.

01-z, you got ls6 heads on your car? better throw them on there and reclaim the fastest cam only record!

Well crap, an LSX intake isn't stock either but does that mean those cars don't qualify for any of your coveted records?

I must agree on this. 5.3, 6.0, or LS6 heads are not stock heads.

It should take a lot more than one dyno run to be enough to convince someone to buy a cam.
What's important here, is that this cam only car on a very conservative tune, driven for the first time by it's new owner, was 3mph faster than any of the other cam only cars (albeit LS1 headed) at the track last Sunday. That's proof in the pudding for me.

The cam makes the power, no doubt. It's what 01-Z runs in his cam only Z28. That cam in a stock LS1 head car will make great power if you dyno/tuned it in a part of the country with better air and gas.
