Worth getting a cam??? hey, i'm getting a slp lm catback system and a lid. now i've read that cams do well with lt's and cut outs, but i was wondering if cams do well with exhaust and lids/intakes. thanks
p.s.- a have a 2k2 so i have the larger injectors and the ls6 intake manifold if it does make a difference

Now as far as the ls6 intake yes that is a good thing, and yes ls6 intake, plus lt's are very good for a cam look to gain anywhere about 30 horses from a good cam even more with a good set up. hell there are some guys putting down 400 horses with full bolt ons and a cam so a cam is deff worth it.

Very pleased with mine. Went with the 224/224 with a 114 lsa. Great all around cam. 
I'f you don't do headers, you could do something like a LS6 cam or something under 220 duration for some small gains.
However, IMO, if you don't do LT's or at least mid-lengths with the cam, you're just wasting your money.
