Cheatr Cam...

Man that would be like 424 or like 480 horse out of a 346-man these motors are badass!
I don't like to over commit on the HP numbers. IMHO it should do better but without back to back testing I don't have a solid answer for you.

Basically like Geoff said, if you want to remain inconspicuous
, the Cheater is a great addition to the "Stealthy" cams allready available on the market. 
So is the 02 cam with about 2 to 4 degrees advance into it...GM knew what they were doing with this cam,I;ve just seen a guy dyno 414RW threw manifolds running AFR's and the 02 LS6 cam...
Geoff, i ordered the CheaTR cam through Paul during the freaky friday sale, im assuming it will be here soon.
Currently Im running a set of Dynatech Longtube Headers, a SLP lid and a FAST 90/NW 90 TB set up. With the stock catback and these mods, i trapped 109.4 mph tonight. I will be installing a magnaflow catback wednesday and the Cheater cam shortly after with stock LS1 heads. Ill dyno and take her to the track when its all done and post up the results. Ill be doing AFR heads then after but need a clutch and tires first.

The C5 exhaust isn't that much different. Numbers in sig.

And people wonder why some places keep their cam specs secret!

I've been bouncing cam ideas for weeks now..I came to the conclusion for me,the 02 LS6 cam adv 4 degrees should be the ticket..I'll be doing either Edlebrocks,AFR's or TEA S1.5 with this setup along with a March pulley and Ptb threw ported manifolds...
I'm hoping for 380RW threw my A4 GTO...
Dead stock idle with lots of TQ

If you order that through any manufacturer, that doesn't mean you have a copy of the original.
You have to know all the VE's and EVOs etc.. to duplicate a cam.
The only way to clone a cam is to Cam Doctor the original and then duplicate it.
After reading this thread and checking out TR's site, I'm really interested in this cam.
Do I need to buy the cam package TR offers for the install? It comes with:
- cheaTR cam
- Comp Cams 26918 Valve Springs
- Thunder Racing Stock Length Pushrods (7.400)
All for $599. Is this the best way to spend my money? I'm still stock headers/cats/titanium exhaust. Also, will I need retainers? I am on a budget, so if I don't need it, I'm not going to buy it! Installing myself.
Thanks!

Geoff/Patrick,
Would this cam work well with a set of LPE Ported LS6 heads milled .030? Would P/V clearance be an issue here? What valve springs would be recommended? Any idea what length pushrods with the stock LS6 valves? I will be buying a cam soon to go with my LS6 heads and I am very interested in this cam if it will work for me.
Thx for the info ... JHH

Any dyno numbers.?
