Cam Question VRX2?

Any one use this cam Vengeance VRX2 Camshaft 224/228 .581/.588 115 LSA with a A&A kit and meth? in a Z06 C5? What kind of power does it produce?

Thanks

The amount of air flow in a FI application is much more dependent on boost, exhaust and heads than cam. The cam is the icing on the cake. That cam is adequate.

I'm planning on doing a cam swap when doing install of kit.

Just wanted to get an idea anyone has this cam. I'm stock except for headers and B&B's and tune.

forged bottom end with a 418 motor
you will have a lot of fun with the 9 pounds of boost and that cam, nice street cam for your stock ride
no doubt you will be in the mid 500 hp

I would prefer a higher duration on the exhaust. 224/234 116LSA

You could make mid 5's and higher with the stock cam. It won't sound as cool though.

I have this cam with an A&A V3 T-Trim Kit.

Stock LS6.

No Headwork.

Stock Intake.

LG Pro Headers.

B&B Bullets.

VRX2 Cam.

The car put down an insanely conservative tuned 602hp/512tq on 10psi.

Well there are two of us now.
LS1 with LS6 ported heads and going with the same cam but only going to run 8psi on a maggie.

Not installed yet but how is the idle with this cam guys? Mild or choppie.
Lghts out, hope you didn't mind me asking. Just wondering.
