Default Searching for over 400rwhp

Hi all,
could somebody give me some advice in selecting a camshaft (something aggressive) to suit my ls1 M6 ?

I want to make over 400rwhp any thoughts/opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I did it with a "small" 228-224/.588"-.581"/112. Personally if I were to do it over again- I would go much bigger. Probably G5X2.

It depends if you have emissions tests or not. I see you live in Australia, I don't know if they have a sniff test there.

Regardless, the smallest cam I have seen make over 400 rwhp is a TR220 with the following mods on most M6s:

- Top of the line long tube headers
- high flow exhaust, true dual exhaust preferred
- Stage II or higher quality heads
- LS6 or Holly intake
- Ported TB
- Some sort of "LID" or better intake track
- Good Tuning!

The last part is important, and required for best drivability and power.

If you go with a TR224, it will be easier to got over 400 rwhp, even in an A4 with the above mods. As you increase the size of the cam from here, it will be easier and easier to reach that goal. I.e., with a 230+ cam, you may not even need heads to reach that mark, etc...

Does that help?
