Default change of setup

hey guys I want to change my setup I am trying to get close to 600 wheel and drive pretty stock I plan on pulling out the 228r cam putting in something around the size of the ls6 cam and running a 200 shot of spray do you think I will get close.

Well considering the stock LS6's were rated at 405HP, spraying a 200 shot would make it 600HP (roughly) at the flywheel...thats not going to get you to 600RWHP.

If anything, Id stay with that camshaft you have now...as it looks like your getting almost 400RWHP with it and spray 200 on top of that. If your dead set on driving/idleing more stock, swap it out with a camshaft on a wider LSA, such as a 115 or so. That will not idle as rough/radical and help with less overlap which the nitrous will like.

thanks for the advice I was thinking of the tsp 220/220 on a 116 thats bigger than the ls6 I think and should drive and idle real smooth
