Exclamation Cam Kit Question???

I know that my numbers might not be exactly the same as the 2002 vette but what kind of numbers could I expect from the SDPC LS6 Z06 Camshaft Kit? I will have this done first before I install the cam kit: FLOWTECH headers (1.75" tubes to a 3" collector) x-pipe, 2 Magnaflow Performance Hi-Flow Catalytic Converters 3" in/out, and 2 3"in/out Dynomax Bullet Mufflers. I'll still have the LS1 heads on there. Should I be making 400bhp in the end or would I still need something else, minus a tuning of course?

What vehicle are you installing this in?

I wouldn't waste time with the LS6 cam. If you're going to do a cam install, you might as well go big.

I don't recommend Flowtech headers, either. Go with Pacesetter for just a few dollars more.

PLEASE don't get an ls6 cam. Go with one of the sponsers, and go big! You may say to yourself that you don't want to go big, but once you put in that small cam, you'll want to go bigger. Everyone does

The Hot Cam is the smallest that you should consider... I went with a 220/220 560/560, 112.

It is a street cam with good idle and low end tork...

if you still live in a sniffer state go with the ls6 but why bother.... most states are now going to the PCM test for emmissions so you can have a big cam and as long as there are no SES lights - you pass....

Well, my next question is what all comes with the Hot cam? The LS6 cam comes with everything, pretty much. If i did buy that Hot cam, what else would I have to buy? Also what kind of numbers can I expect with the HOT cam vs. the LS6 cam?

In a Jedi mind trick voice " You don't want the hotcam or the LS6 do you.... go big griff go big..fade out " IMO not worth the effort or cost to insatall.

I'm still wondering what else I would have to buy if I go with another cam? Insight would be appreciated because I don't know...Thanks.
