Well I don't know about M6 dyno #s, but a friend with a Trans Am A4 ran the cheater and was running 8.0's with it and longtubes and 7.7 with a 75 shot or 100 shot. He is a turbo car now. He dynoed with it in the 340s with a 3600 stall.

Do you think the cats really hold you back in power?

Check some of the old posts by Patrick G. He ran that cam for a while with very impressive results.

It is all in the combo. It is a high rev cam 4000+ rpm, nice in a Stealth 6800 rev setup. Think over 400rwhp H/C, acts like a stoker.
Patrick G had a nice combo with his CheaTR, Sealthy & deadly

I used to have that cam in my '04 GTO. With just the cam and cat delete pipes I was right at 360rwhp, through a Yank 2800 stall. Pretty stealthy at idle, made good power up top.

I knew a guy with a CheaTR cam, ported 241's, and pretty much stock other than that. Ran mid 11's in a 6 speed Vette. Sounded pretty much stock, and ran like hell with good MPH.
