Hey Guys,
I was wondering has anyone installed this cam in their cars with stock heads and what were your performance gains ? I've read a few post on here about the stealth cam ,but I think all of them had either LS6 or 5.3L heads. I really like looks of these camshafts ( MTI Stealth Cam I or II). I know there are bigger and badder cams out there ,but that doesn't fit my needs. I have an LT1 thats full boggie on the track ,so my 02 SS is my pimp ride.
I just want a little extra without giving up my streetability . Thanks in advance

Sounds stock like, just much more nervous.

Also ,what size springs and pushrods did you use to support that high lift cam ?

I had a light valvetrain.
stock heads but with LS6 valves, titanium retainers and 918 springs. I reused my stock rokers.
I ran cometic 0.045 with an out of hole piston at 0.007 (~0.038 quench)
I portmatched the headers and heads and also did the intake (LS6 modified to accept 80mm BBK TB).
Running a shorter gasket also increased my compression ~(2.3 cc less)
No porting though, and a slightly rich 93 octane tune. (N2O)
I just wanted you to know that these few little tricks are worth ~ 10/15 rwhp.
