I'd say you could get that, depending on your heads, my stock LS6 was at 390rwhp, untuned with bolt ons

Id go with a bigger cam. 400rwhp with heads, but unless you have an awesome tune and every bolt on 400 is going to be hard. With the TSP torquer II you could get 410rwhp no problem. With the right LSA you would have a nice street cam.

Yea, its possible. Especially with a M6 not having the power loss of a A4.

This cam is a tried & tested proven power maker. I'm doin the exact same cam but on a 114 LSA. Then sprayin it with a HSW Dry 100 shot.

Good Tuner choice...... With the cam you got and a good tune from Nick Williams i'd say you will get 385-390rwhp.

I would agree most any head work would set you past 400 whp mark though

Good luck either way.

I hit 399rwhp @ 386rwtq with my TR224 back in 03 with every bolt on save an EWP. Tune was razor sharp thru ORY and open QTEC. Adding Magnaflow Ceramic cats brought it down to 389rwhp @ 379rwtq.

I love my TR224. It has no cons that I can think of. The larger the cam the more cons you have. There are cams that are larger that will outpower the TR224 all day long. They would make great race cams or strictly weekend drivers. For an all around DD, strip and street cam you can't beat the TR224.

The 110LSA will net 54* overlap +4* at .50
On a 112 LSA will net 50* overlap 0* at .50

The 110LSA should make for a nice powerband but idle quality will suffer a little.
Do you plan on using your stock heads?

It's possible but i think you will need some heads to get you over the hump.
