I don't really get hung up on CI, I get off on the *** dyno and what it will run at the track after all that is whats important!

I wonder how the ls9 cam compares to the ls6 when used with a centuri type blower?

I'm running an LS9 Cam in my setup (with new springs). Stock engine otherwise (Pistons, rods, crank, valves, heads, LS6 intake, etc).

Running a Custom Rear Mount T76 BB Turbo (On3 Performance), stock manifolds, stock cats, stock y pipe, Snow Methanol Water injection and Front Mount Intercooler.

Put down 551 rwhp @ 6000 rpm (@10 psi boost).

Feels like taking off on the runway in a jet.
