I agree that something in this range is a very solid all around cam for a 346" LS1/6. Brian Tooley himself spec'd me a 227/235 for the LS6 in my C5Z with some CNC heads right after he left TEA. He told me it was one of if not the first cams he sold out on his own and the start of BTR. I'm pretty sure they still have a shelf cam that is nearly identical. It made 448 rwhp on my set up on a stingy mustang dyno and drove great.

The original BTR stage 2 was a 227/234. Works great for a street driven car.

I put this cam in my 2000 GMC Yukon 4wd with a 5.3. On a mustang dyno the truck made 239whp/269wtq stock with Efans in 2nd gear. After adding Powermax cam, TBSS manifold w/ 92mm tb, 1 3/4 headers, Circle D 2600 converter, it made 322whp 313wtq. Makes more torque than stock from 2500rpm on up, power peaks at 5900 and carries flat out to 6500rpm. Easy to tune, drives as good as stock, valve train is silent. Nice little cam imo.

However I would probably do the Powermax plus if I was going to put a cam in a light car with a LS1. A 220/222 should be easy to tune and still drive really nice. I ran a 224/228 112 in my LS1 and it worked well. I say go milder on the cam, spend the money on good heads, intake, and exhaust. That is where the power is at. The cam is just going to move the power band around and start to give up drivability once you get above 3-5 degrees of overlap in trade for more peak power.

Yep, mine powermax ended up in the 5.3 in my 2004 suburban with stock diameter tires, converter, but I've got the factory 4.10 gears in mine. It's a beater, I get it dirty so no fancy intake or headers for me, However, I did put 4.8 flat tops in when I put it together. I had a BTR stage 3 truck cam in it at first 218/224 113+3 and it absolutely hauled, screamed on the highway low end hit wasn't even that bad. I think the flat tops and 4.10 help a little bit. I swapped it out for the PowerMax and it's a real monster now everywhere more power now Perfect cam for a heavier app
