TR224 114LSA 925-950rpm idle speed Would be VERY hard to tell there was a cam inside. I have my cam's idle bumped a tad and thru cats and Corsa only a trained ear could really tell it's not stock.

i was thinking of that but it could come out to about the same price 1000 for LS6 CNC ported head w/ new springs and 800-900 for stock LS1 heads and then i need to go buy springs. i can get the same cfms out of both of them but i wonder if the ls6 cnc heads are noticeable?

I have heard that porting a set of LS6 heads make pretty good power and you will not be able to tell that you have changed heads. But they need to BE LS6 heads, not LS6 style heads from some other company. Because you can def. tell I changed my heads with the big letters AFR on the side. I guess I could make plates to cover them but I dont care that much. People dont ask me to pop the hood that much especially if you are going from a roll. And the cheater cam is bigger than the GT2-3. So more power possible with the cheater cam
