Default Highest Numbers for Cam Only 6.0?

Just out of curiosity, about what is the max RWHP one can expect with a Cam only LQ9 or LQ4 through a T56?

Is 400-430rwhp feasible?

If you consider a 6.0L LQ9 with stock L92 heads, stock LS3 intake, and a G5x3 cam a cam only motor...I made 446/405.

Nice! We are talking at the rear wheels right?


How do you like that G5x3 cam?

Yeah...rwhp and tq...love the G5x3...its on a 112lsa and b\c I have a great tuner, it drives as tame as much smaller cams. Has plenty of power in the lower and midrange and still pulls hard up top. Great all around cam. My car was making just over 350rwtq at 3k...and never dropped below that again. And that was with L92 heads that according to some people on here "don't make low end power or torque"...LOL!
