Mods:
'02 Camaro, El Toro 230/230 on 111+4, 1.75" LTs, ORY, Magnaflow cat-back with QTP cut out, Edge 3600 stall converter, stock 3.23 gears, PP TB, stock pulley, SLP lid, and stock MAF.

For a M6 I would prefer it on 111+2 LSA

The same cam has seen 420+rwhp cam only (more mods)
Here is a link with the same cam (420+rwhp) for comparison (graph post #40) and a sound clip (post #1):
https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...0-111-2-a.html

This gives you a look at the potential of this cam and the powercurves it produces and is a definite 400+ cam only with normal bolt ons on a M6.

Ahhh yes, those were my results. I think the fact that I have 94k on the engine, and possibly the fact that we are 1200 above sea level with an average DA of 1500+ might have had a little effect, but I don't really care about dyno numbers. This cam is very streetable and makes great power IMO. All I wanted to do was run high 11s cam only and I am close. I think Chrs1313 has an exceptionally strong car and I am quite jealous . This is a video of my best pass so far, only the 5th run with the cam/tune combo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qtp-u5YSLE The T/A in the other lane actually has the same 230/230 grind, but he has a Yank SS3200 with 3.42s. We think he is down on compression or has a lot of blowby, he dynoed 30RWHP less and the thing smoked like a chimney on the dyno.

It will do 11s, you have to work on your 60', cut a 1.5x-1.6 and you are there.
