is there a cam for stock intake manifold?

Been looking around and everything requires atleast a ls6 intake. Im on a budget here and am looking to keep the stock ls1 intake manifold. Is that possible ? I'd like atleast or around 380rwhp. I'm not sure if id like the CheaTR cam..Seems too mild. Will a 224tr or 228/228 tr work with a stock ls1 intake manifold? OR be up to potential?

Thanks

Greg

So to awnser your question, any cam you slap in there will work with a ls1 intake but none of them will be up to full potential.

Spend the 300 bucks and get the intake the benefits are well worth the 300 bucks dude.

The 224 cam is good too

Like said there is a cam choice out there, but then again, if your doing the job once, at least do it right, there is def hp being left on the table.

My situation is that I have a ported 90/90 and with my cam choice 228/230 @ 112 that my MAF sensor and possible fuel is maxed out.

With your combo, that should not be the issue but for a little extra work you can see a healthy gain on RWHP.
