Default anyone got a small cam direct-comparison?

im talking 224-232 .550-.600 cams (TSP TR VRX Comp)

im looking to get the smallest/ best gas mileage/ stock sounding cam that'll make 400RWHP/ 380+TQ through my T56 n 12 bolt w/ 4.11s (and LS6 intake when i get one)

i know cams this size can make over 400rwhp with 90/90 setups n 10bolt, which ones can do it with an ls6 and 12bolt?

uncorrected 400 through an ls6 intake/ t56/ 12 bolt can be done- haven't seen 400rwhp corrected for a cam this size yet

BUMP

You might be close with XFI lobes, but it won't sound stock.

the TR224 is "stock enough" sounding (for a reference point) lol, just something that wont turn heads and let people know the car is cammed

Your exhaust can do quite a bit to hide the sound. If you have a bullet or sweet thunder duals or something even a small cam is going to sound nasty. Now if your running a Hi flo cat and a magnaflow catback you could get away with more.

i have high flow cats and TSP rumbler and at idle it can pass for a v6 (very deep v6 but as quiet as one) i also have 1 7/8 headers that keep it a lil quieter at idle too.. i love the sounds the car has and i dont want to change it, just was a 400hp sleeper

well, i did 380rwhp with a 224/230 114 cam on a ls6 intake and headers. with a 3500 stall converter. so add m6 to that and you would have a 400hp car. my idle is set high, so doesnt sound like it has a cam too much.
