was looking into getting camshafts wasnt uite sure which one to get or where to get it. also dont quite know how much of a HP gain i will get from it but just looking for opinions. i was looking here for them.

I so far have gotten a corsa pace car exhaust and x-pipe, callaway honker intake, Z06 sway bars, and plan on tuning it eventually. I am still in college so am working this summer to make money to do mods to try and achieve around 400HP. thanks again.

Doesnt say you have headers if you dont have headers first your going to choke the cam to death. IF you still want a cam and cant/dont want header go with this one.

Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft
"CheaTR" - 214/230 .601/.575 117 LSA. Off Idle-6800 RPM Power Band. Broad power range. Works well with stock exhaust manifolds and catalytic converters. Stock like idle. Minor tuning required on automatic transmission cars. Responds very well to nitrous. Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended. Double valve springs and titanium retainers required for this cam.

I been told it works well with stock manifold. If it was me i would get a pair of long tube headers (LG lol cause thats what i have and i love them, kooks is fine as well for the money) You also going to need new valve springs at the least.

You must get a tune while your at it pick up a used ls6 intake for 300 bucks will help the cam alot. Try www.ls1tech.com

Tons of guys over there with cam's good luck
