Nice numbers with small mods :-) After watching my car run like complete **** after my cam and LT install, I decided to get a tune. I was surprised at the numbers! The MAF was completely busted. I was running 171 RWHP! hahahaha After a new MAF and a tune I am pushing 360RWHP with 350 RWTQ. I am very surprised.
LS6 cam and LTs with small mods. I'm very satisfied with that.

All the trouble of getting a new cam and thats it.....I have LG's G5X3 and it added approximately 60 rwhp. I couldn't believe the difference. Read my sig. and you will see what she did with AFR heads and the rest of the goodies. 11 seconds all day long.

The reason I went with a small cam is because it was $100, I am 17 years old, and I really just wanted to tear the engine apart to get some experience on working with LS1s. It was way more for the learning than the power.

Congrats, the LS6 cam works alot better than people give it credit for.. my times corrected down from my elevation give a good indication of that and it only made 364 rwhp on the dyno. Its fun smacking around the cars with bigger cams at the track.

Now my only problem is that I'm still running the same times at the track. Then again I am spinning like crazy. I can't hook up at all even through third. I drive on BFGoodrich KDW. Then again my rear springs are completely shot. I baby the clutch, too.
Not too bad, might have a bit more in it...
What pushrods are you using? You should be using a 7.450 length pushrod with the LS6 cam, it has a smaller base circle than a stock LS1 cam.

ls6 cam is only good for what 20-25 more over a LS1 cam? im sure LS6 heads would help even if they were used cores, no port work at all.
