.324 - LS6 (2002-2004)
.306 - LS6 (2001)
.292 - GTO
.274 - Vette LS1
.268 - Trans Am

Looks like the LS6 cam would be more streetable and be good for 25+ RWHP... Just figured its something to think about

As stated, ls6 would be a waste of time.
I did the ls6 on my turbo camaro, they are decent on the forced induction aspect. Cheap, and i was doing heads anyways.
But on a NA car, i wouldnt. Not a fan of the hot cam either.

The LS6 cam is not very agressive. The LS6 engine was rated 405 at the wheels. I don't know what they dynoed in stock form, but my guess is around 370rwhp. The only way that you will get 400rwhp is to go with a more agressive cam than that or heads. Look at my specs in my sig, and that is with a more agressive cam and intake.
I made 376rwhp @ 361rwtq with an LS6 cam on stock 241 heads. All bolt ons, LT's, ORY, ASP, PTB and tune. Drove and idled dead stock. I would have kept it except it had not much midrange improvement over stock until 4000+rpms where it really woke up. It's a topend cam for sure. I swapped it out for a TR224 and never looked back.
