Just because your friend chose a large cam doesn't necessarily mean he's going to get large numbers. If the car can't breathe in the higher rpms (where this cam really performs), then it's not going to perform as well as you think.

And trust me, I TOTALLY understand this cam needs air. I said that before he even got the stuff ordered.
yea im sure he would tell you your missing key parts and your not comparing apples to apples
when this guy decides to get all of the parts to work with the set up he should be closer to where others have gotten with that cam

Well it looks like im going to be putting a ls6intake,tb,and probably a pully on it to try to hit the magic 400 mark. Thanks for all of your input. Hopfully in about a month or so i can get everything else. Ill get some track numbers up as soon as i fix my rear end.
I didnt read the rest of the posts, but the LS6 was a dyno tested 17 rwhp on a 2000 Z28 with a G5X2, SLP LTs, cutout etc.. poor car was suffocated anything above 6000 with it and peaked at 6200, after hte LS6 it pulled to 6800 no problems

Also, for that video, get a hold of boseman350 (he's the kid with the silver WS6 that was at the show), he should be able to host it for you.

You also have to take into consideration that not all stock LS1 GM short blocks are the same. Each and every motor has it's own characteristics. One motor may have been whooped on much more then another and that whooped on motor will most likely not produce as much power due to the wear and tear it sustained.
