its a nice little setup. i know a guy named " GT GRILLER" is running that cam and he loves it. i think he said the cam sounds bigger than it is.

it's a good cam that will give you good power through out your power band but you probly won't make over 400 rwhp with the mods in your sig.

with the intake and longtubes, theres not way you won't hit 400, honestly, unless you pull a spark plug wire or something, i made that on a smaller cam with stock ls6 heads and blowmasters

you should be over 400+ rwhp with a pp ls6 heads/226 cam for sure. there are some guys that make 380 rwhp stock heads with a 224 cam!!

Mine made 395rwhp through an a4 unlocked stock converter with home ported stock heads and 226 cam on mickey thompson et radials... I'd say it's going to hit your 415-430 mark no problem.

80+% of good cam manners or driveability is in the tune. If your tuner can't get a 22x/22x cam to drive smoothly from 1200rpm~redline, then I'd start looking for a new tuner.

Comp Cams 224/224 here with a tune and full boltons. Car runs very smoothly including rush hour traffic with the air running full blast. I make 385 rwhp through a 12 bolt and 4.11's.
