help me guess my cam! ok, imma start off saying i KNOW this is a long shot, but let's play a game anyway
starters, the car is an 01 ws6, mods are kooks longtubes, catted y with hi flow cats, magnaflow catback, granatelli MAF, k&n intake kit, and a tune.
car made 384.4hp and 361.7tq at the wheels on the dyno after some tuning. flywheel hp was 430 and i don't remember the torque offhand lol. this is through a 4L60
there's obviously a cam in it, the heads appear stock, haven't pulled em off to see if they're ported but imma guess they're not. it still has the ls6 intake manifold on it.
so as the title says, can anyone guess what kind of cam this thing has in it? obviously i wont know for sure without pulling it out and getting it specced out, but thats currently not an option as this is my daily driver and i don't have the time
just lookin for some rough estimates, even tho its a shot in the dark, maybe someone will be familiar with this setup or something close to it

idle at 800ish rpm is kinda rough, thinking about moving it up to 850-900 rpm. currently it does shake the car noticably, but its not BAD or anything, tho i can see it getting annoying if i were to go on a road trip.
it wants to stall when i come to a stop, dipping down to 3-400 rpms, and on occasion it does stall out (automatic). im hoping this will be relieved with a slightly higher idle, at least until i can get a decent torque converter in there, mine appears to be stock still
also, when it doesnt stall, it will try to pull away when i come to a stop, but then is fine with only slight pressure on the brakes. again this is prolly converter related, but its enough of a cam to make this an issue.
here's the dyno graph so you can see exactly what you're looking for as far as power and torque curves

sounds like a tuning issue until you said its trying to pull you through the brakes and stalling and it has a rough idle lol. rough idle and pulling through the brakes generally means its cammed and doesnt have a big enough stall. swap in a 3200 stall and watch it run nice. maybe try posting a video clip of it idling and what it does when u come to a stop? its impossible to tell what cam is in it unless you pull it, bolt ons will never tell us what cam was installed.
edit: by run nice i mean move out, if its cammed it more than likely has a choppy idle and thats just sex no need to up the idle

mine has similar mods minus the maf and it has a 3800 stall and wants to pull away some. it dosent stall when i come to a stop though. mine has a comp cam 272 224 duration and 566/568 lift. u might have something close to the specs.
