Default Cam Only Question

What would I see from a 97 ls1 c5 with LT Headers, CAI, TR224, LS6 Intake manifold and tune? If you are not doing heads is the LS6 Intake worth it? Could I get some serious SOTP from this setup? Torque that is

that setup through a vette drivetrain....i'd guess you'll tune out at around 375rwhp...should be a nice flat torque curve all the way from down low.

on a stock cam motor, the ls6 intake is good for about 7-10hp....on a cammed setup...that goes up.

its DEFINATLY worth the price.

Back when I had a small 221/221 cam only, the LS6 swap gave me slightly more than a tenth at the track. Definately worth it.

I am in the process of purchasing a cam, hasnt been installed yet. Which brings me to another question. I live in Fargo, ND. Closest REPUTABLE tuner is Doug Rippie in Buffalo,MN which is about 200 miles. Will I be able to install it in Fargo and then drive it to Buffalo or would I have to trailer it?

you can drive it 200 miles no problem, just don't get into it hard on the way there. Drive easy
