my friend rebuilt his ls1 in his 01 trans am, but used the 98 cam
it's rich and idles rougher than a stock cam should...if a stock ls1 cam acts the way his does I wouldn't try to run anything else
but you should be more worried about a stall first anyway...

My dad put a 212/218 115lsa cam in his ws6 along with headers. His a/f on the baseline run was 15:1... You have to decide if risking your engine is worth saving $$ on a tune. Not to mention he picked up 40rwtq+ on the bottom end. The baseline was shut down right away so who knows what it gained on topend.

Don't lie Joe, that turd never ran that fast! 
j/k man, but most of the guys are right, about the only cams you wouldn't really need a tune for are so small that they honestly are not worth the effort, and most ls1 tuners will only charge that much for a one time fee, then just charge for their time after that. If you want the number of the guy that tuned my red car I can send it to ya, he stays in Baytown and does street tunes, so you won't have dyno numbers but you will put up numbers at the track, which is I am sure what you are more interested in, let me know man!
