Quite a few people have had good success with it and of cams similar size. The fact you can have new era tune it is huge. Just get the supporting mods asap.

that cam isn't gonna be very nice on a stock stall. i'd bet it will be a huge pita to drive and will run slower times. i just bought the last one on the shelf at new era for my gto

Who tuned it??

Wait until you can do it all at once. When you do something major, it sucks to do it piece by piece. Then nothing works right until you install the last piece of the puzzle and by then the first thing's worn out....

Anyway i heard the streetsweeper is an excellent cam.I personally like the specs on the smaller version streetsweeper.They are like 228/232 111 or something like that.The bigger version would be great if u have 410's for a stick or 373's if yur auto

Let me know if u need help with yur cam swap,i love modding ls1's

was reading this post and I'm actually looking into this StreetSweeper camshaft of 236/240 and also looking into getting 243 heads I already have some long tube headers and I just got me a ls6 intake. any more tips and any wild guess or the HP gain?

thanks in advance
