Cam Gain Opinions I have a 2016 Chevrolet SS with ARH 1 7/8" long tubes, Roto-fab intake, and tune. I currently have a Rick Crawford ported intake manifold waiting to go on the car, and was just curious how much more power would the car make with this extremely mild cam thrown into the mix?

Would the idle be noticeable with a cam like that? Basically, I want to be able to lie and say my car is full bolt ons only.

With -15 degrees overlap, it should idle pretty smooth. A good tune would assure it. Call Cam Motion. They are pretty straight up with advice, and will tell you what you need to know.

Thanks for the info and advice. I sent them an e-mail during the week, I'll probably hear back from them this week. I'm not a cam expert by any means, but the specs appear to be quite tame on this one.

And the best part is, if for some reason they think the cam MIGHT still lope a little (unlikely...), they can grind one with a little more LSA. In fact that would work if you should decide to use the next cam up from this one. Cam Motion WILL work with you! Comp they ain't... lol

If you are not set on the cam mentioned above and you are looking for a tame cam that will perform great, our 1C has been called our "sleeper" cam. It will maintain an idle very similar to stock and have gains expected of a cam swap!
