What do you think of this cam? 224/229 .615/.600 117lsa 114icl
-8 degrees of overlap
I'm really looking for a cam capable of 450rwhp with ported 2.02/1.57 LS6 heads. -With stock manifolds- But I want the cam to idle like stock with just a 50 or 100rpm bump and not hunt for idle like crazy all the time. I'd also like it to peak @ or before 6600rpm. I also plan on spraying it. Small shot though so not a big deal.
Thoughts?
I had a FM14 232/234 .598 112lsa cam and it was a great cam, but just not worth it everyday.

CheaTR or LPE GT11 for that kind of setup.
and you'll be lucky to hit 420rwhp without supporting boltons.

The lifts are for power/smoothness (contribute to stock behavior)
Look at the TR CheaTR same pattern, but smaller lift.
GT11 will out do the CheaTR by a few more ponies.
921's recommended (or similar capable springs)

Anyone have a dyno of a GT11? I searched everywhere and couldn't find one. I found a 6.0 LS2 that I THINK might have had one and it put down ~420rwhp through the stock exhaust, which is very impresive. It was over on the CF
