It's that time again - Sleeper cam!

I've been doing some research into "stealth" or sleeper cams. I want a cam that makes good low and midrange power. I'd like to make over 400 RWHP/RWTQ. And I'd like it have as close to stock idle as possible. I'm not a fan of lopey cams, and I don't want anyone to know the car is cammed.

The car currently has an SLP lid/CAI, LS6 intake, Pacesetter LTs, ORY, a Borlamouth catback, and 4.10s in the rear. I plan on adding a set of PRC Stage 2.5 LS6 heads along with a new cam. I know I could throw in one of the 224 variations and call it a day, but I like the challenge of having a stock or near-stock idle and still making good power.

I could be completely off here, but I'm thinking something like a 214/228 .57x/.58x 116 LSA. I'm no cam expert, so any input would be appreciated.

I'm a little concerned about the amount of lift on the LPE GT11. Isn't it a little overkill with just an LS6 intake?

I'm also somewhat curious on this, because I want a sleeper build with a good street friendly stall converter and still make ~4xxwhp. I know a good set of heads would be in order, along with minimal an ls6 intake, but what else is needed?

Here's a combo that is super mild, and very stealthy: https://ls1tech.com/forums/dynamomet...k-results.html
