Default Sleeper Cam Comparison

I compiled this information because there have been a few threads on sleeper cams lately or people wanting a stealthy setup to get by dealers for warranty work.

Its difficult to compare these cams apples to apples because of the different setups of each vehicle but the intent of this thread is to provide sufficient information for someone looking into a similar setup to make an educated decision.

It's important to note before and afters too. My car made 351 RWHP just before installing the H/C setup. That's a gain of 72 RWHP.

Just another note. "Sleeper" is a relative term. These tend to be the most docile cams out there. Take it FWIW

I don't know what lobes this cam uses, and I am not going to pretend to either. FWIW I have yet to read a problem with springs with this cam and I have been surfing this place for close to 2 yrs. A call to LPE would provide better answers.

It seems to be a great overall cam........performance + emissions friendly. Here is a quote from another member with this cam

The cam I have is an LS6 on steroids - 207/220 .571/.578 118.5 - and it is on the shelf over at Lingenfelter. I picked up 60 rwhp with this cam, ARE heads, and mac mids. Car went from 303 to 362 rwhp (I use a really stingy dyno over here). So if you are reading on your favorite dynojet, you could go from 330 to 390 or so.

I know, it's not a huge gain, but the car is a blast to drive and is a total sleeper. Plus the car sounds completely, and I mean completely, stock. I originally bought the cam because it was a good blower cam, but since selling the blower, I have still been having fun with it as is.
