Any help on my spark plug situation would be greatly appreciated, I also wanted to add that i put in tr55's gapped at 0.050" when i put the engine together and it is in the car and running now, I'm just questioning my plug choice and gap for the 6.0l
Hey Martin,
I'm currently shopping for a camshaft for a 2000 C5 6-speed that I picked up recently. I added an LS6 intake manifold, AFE inlet assembly, catback, and have 1-7/8" longtubes and an off-road x pipe on the way to my house. Ordering an UDP soon. Current plans are to keep the stock heads on it. I do not plan on changing out the 3.42 gearset.
Looking for a cam that sounds great, drives great (including 1300-1500rpm in 5th/6th gear), will make 400+ SAE on a Dynojet with stock heads and LS6 manifold, with the ability for more potentially down the line with some good heads.
Thinking either the SNS Stage 2 or regular Street Heat stage 2. What say you?

Some customers with good tuning report their SNS Stage 3 camshafts can drive at 1400-1500 with no issues. We have tuned several here that were able to as well.
The SNS Stage 2 needs a great exhaust system to hit 400+ cam only. The Street Heat 2 will be your best bet for 400+ cam only and keeping 1300-1500rpm drivability.

Just placed my order for the Street Heat Stage 2 LS1 cam package. Can't wait! Thanks Martin!
I think the car's gonna rock. On the same dyno that my car will be tuned on, my friend's dad's 02 Vette 6-speed did around 395rwhp SAE with a Brian Ebert 224/228 .609/.53x 112LSA camshaft, 1-7/8" longtubes and no cats (same set I just bought), stock heads and intake, Halltech CAI, and no underdrive pulley. I expect that mine should be in the 400-410ish range SAE conservatively speaking.
It did 327/335 with an LS6 manifold, AFE cai, and XSPower catback, with a tune. Stock manifolds, cats, no UDP, etc.

The SH2 is good for 45-55rwhp/20-30rwtq on average.
Are you doing the install yourself or is a shop? If a shop is, have them dyno it before they install the headers and camshaft for a before and after.

Adding the headers and off road x pipe would of most likely brought you up to 345-355rwhp/350-360rwtq.

Cam and headers go in next week; hopefully by the end of the weekend it will be tuned/dyno'd.

My buddy is doing the install in his home shop, and my other friend is tuning it at the same dyno facility that it put down the near-stock numbers. An underdrive pulley will be going at the same time also.

Martin, first of all awesome thread! It's good to see so much knowledge bring shared here on the forum even after all these years.
Long story short, I'm about to do heads/cam/intake on my 29,000 original mile 98 SS 6 speed.
I have TEA Stage 2 243 heads, milled 0.015 for 62cc chambers. Heads have all the good stuff, no worries there.
I just bought your SNS Stage 2 LS1 camshaft with standard lobes, I have been doing a lot of reading about PTV clearance but haven't found my specific answer.
Obviously I will be measuring during install, but want to be ready if I need to flycut. I'm hoping to be able to use .040 cometics.
What are your usual clearances with this cam and 243 heads with 2.02/1.57 valves?
I am trying to avoid fly cutting.
Thanks.
