Stock manifolds and a tune are perfect for the CheaTR cam... In fact, thats what it was designed for. It was designed to give more power than the LS6 cam, but with the same smooth idle. Its a sleeper cam and most of the time, guys that want sleeper sounding cars, want sleeper looking cars as well, hence the manifolds.
I do suggest a tune, but hell... if you want a sleeper, get the CheaTR.

the cheater is great I have it in my car along with patriot stage II heads and made nice numbers and that was in a very conservative tune to compensate for hawaii weather. I believe it was 415hp 405tq. I have headers also full bolt on does not mean that the cheater will not work

my car made 398RWHP with 224/224 .563/.563 114lsa lunati cam, headers, lid, and tune!!! and i couldn't be happier! best driving cam i've seen and makes awesome power up top... great for street racing!
To the OP, I'd go with the TR224 cam. The CheaTR cam will have a higher peak, and on stock shortblocks, thats not good. TR224 will probably make more power, and have a lower peak. Go with the tried and true...
I say get headers,then do the cam and tune.The tr224 is a good all around cam that produces good numbers and is very streetable.You can't go wrong with it.Good daily driver too.

extra bump on the hookers got mine 400 from speed coated player...
as far as the tune I think it would be nice to know why u don't want an intake and lontubes.?.....that would the smartest beacuse if u go with the 224 cam annd rhen get these exhaust mods after u did not take advantage of ur tune.....i vote intake header swap before anything ......with the dame money u are spending u can do so much more power if u just doi it in a diferent order....good luck anyway
