Default CheaTR guys...LTs?

Hey guys, my 98 TA's puttin down 340rwhp/340tq through stock manifolds and LS1 intake with my CheaTR cam, now im interested in LTs and LS6 manifold. I know this cam works VERY well with stock manifolds, even my cruddy 98 manifolds.

My question is this: will this cam see less of a gain with LTs?? Or will i see an average-high gain?? I figure that with any cam, you'll see a gain with full exhaust. So since my cam is bigger than my stock, will i not see a bigger gain in hp??

Cam specs: 215.5/232.4, 0.599/0.578, 116.8 LSA

Any people with CheaTR experience, PLEASE chime in. Or anyone, please chime in .

-Charlie

I cant see why in hell a car would loose power by adding better components but I guess it may be possible although I dont see the logic behind it

My car picked up 25rwhp/15rwtq from stock manifolds/cats, to Thunder Racing 1 3/4 longtubes and off-road y-pipe on my black car when it had all the bolt-ons, TR CheaTR cam, and PRC 5.3l 2.5s.

The cam will work just fine with headers too.
