yes the T1 will make more power, especially in the low and and mid range

The LS6 cam is plug and play. No tuning necessary. It idles like stock (because it is) and makes all of its power (compared to your stock cam) above 4500 rpm.

The T1 will make lots more torque and HP across the entire RPM range; however the T1 will not idle like stock and will require tuning. A T1 is not a plug and play cam. You will need 918 springs and a tune so the T1 will cost you more in the long run...you will also get more power everywhere.

if he has an m6 then basic tuning with the T1 is all thats required, a MAFT and drilled out TB would get the job done. its not a big cam, its just on a 112lsa. and he'll need ls6 springs for the ls6 cam as well so its not like its less work or anything. the manley kit is only 178 and it'll handle the T1 just fine and will be able to handle most other after market cams under .600 lift, cant say the same for the ls6 springs.

The T1 is a better cam. Everything about it is better.More power, better range.. etc.

The LS6 cam is good for a sleeper w/no additonal tuning.

The T1 better torque/power plus you get some lope you can hear and feel. But it will cost more if you go with the T1.

Go for the T1 (imho) with the manley spring setup

The only advantage you could have keeping the LS6 is if you are planning a S/C. The big split along with the wide LSA makes for a great boost situation where the T1 is the way to go with N/A on the street. I had the T1 and never regreted getting it. The idle relearn along with a bigger hole in the TB with work fine after the car learns the idle. It was easier to sell than the LS6 was too if you're not happy or want to trade up later. It's resale value is 175-200 where the LS6 is a tough sell for 100. Make the trade.

The T1 will make alot more low and midrange power over the LS6. Up top, the gains won't be as substantial, but still noticeable.

all i can say is that i love mine. great lope, nice massage while sitting at a light, good power gain all throughout the rpm range, go with the t1
