02 Z06 cam only results i had my 2002 Z06 tuned at MTI houston after they installed the following bolt on's and cam
232/234 .595/.598 112 cam
Kooks Long tubes and catted X-pipe
Bassani Catback
Underdrive pulley
Blackwing intake
the car drives just like stock and made this power in 96 degree weather. i was very impressed for a cam only car
417.7rwhp and 395.2rwtq, i wonder if i will see any more power when the motor breaks in?

Whats so bad about it?? It falls off a little early though, so if you are complaining about that I agree.

I see why your torque falls off a little early, you have stock ls6 heads. Better flowing heads and you will make even more torque and hold on longer. A ported 90 mm Fast would help a lot also.
I don't really see any reason to complain about your CAM only results. That guy is crazy I think. I am sure you are feeling the difference with that new cam. Have fun.

I was reading a post by Tony Mamo about some chamber mods he can do to help get more out of the 205's. It might be worth it to talk to him about it if you are going to order the afr 205's down the road. I love my AFR 205's but would have liked a little more air flow then they allow. I don't need the 225's or TFS 215's but a little tweaking on the the afr 205's would have been perfect. PM Tony and I am sure he can fill you in on the chamber mods he was talking about.
not flaming or anything, but I put a '02 ls6 in my bolt-on SS camaro and it made 407,405 ,403 on 3 different dynos. I would think a cam would make more than a 10-15 hp difference. I have thought of changing the cam in my car and want something streetable as it is a dd. But it not worth it if that is al i'll get.

I had the same cam in my TA with the stock ls1 intake, and the stock 98 heads, and made 375/364 in 70 degree air. Over a period of time, the car felt better and better with some miles on the new cam. I think you will like it a lot over time, but definitely more mods will be fun. I never got to heads, just a ls6 intake. Good numbers!

Good cam only numbers, and they are right a few more bolt-ons and you are looking at 20-60+rwhp depending on the what you get...I figure AFR 205s would be quite a bit and then some more with the FAST.
Good luck, enjoy the new power.

So I am going say that afr heads alone will 50 rwhp and 40 rwtq. You have a good cam choice. Its been proven time and time again that bigger isn't always better. You have power under the curve and thats what everyone should be after. Have fun with the car and please let me know if you decide to put some heads on that thing. 215cc Trick Flows would be a good option as well.
