Is this cam a little much??? thinking about buying a Thunder Racing 230/224 .575/5.63 111 LSA? Would my car be streetable??? or is this just a little much, new to the ls1 and need a little help, I want to run stock heads, I will get the patriot gold spring setup. Other than that it will just be headers/y-pipe/loudmouth and K&N intake?? please let me know how this setup will do
Thanks

There is always "MAFless tuning" or "Speed density" if you like.

It will be easier to tune for a M6. It is a great cam only, very similar to a MTI X1 cam (112).
I would consider a LS6 intake for that. You should be close to 400rwhp with that cam/LT's/LS6 intake and of course the best tune money can buy.
