This would be better off in the advanced forum IMO.

You probably won't notice the difference between 6300 and 6500. you're talkin 200 rpms, it can't drop that much unless you float the valves at 6350.

There are plenty of people here that will be able to help you in this forum. After all, all of the cam threads are in this forum, right? Patrick G and Predator-Z will have plenty of info for you. I'd state what I think I know, but I'd probably be wrong, so we'll let them answer

I made 420/400 with a 224/228 110lsa LSK-lobe cam through the LS6 intake. Looking for closer to 450 this year with FAST 90 and cutout.
