I will let you know this time next week... hopefully. IF the cam comes in on Wednesday like it is supposed to, I will be having my Lt's, Ud pulley, LS6 intake and Cam installed next Thursday. I have my goals and expectations, and we'll see if this meets them. So, update next week.

I did cam only on 97 806 heads. Cam was 228/232.

Three months later I did 243 Heads (ls6), longtubes and LS6 intake manfold.

I noticed more gain from the cam only that from the rest combined.

SOTP meter says 50 HP with cam only, 30 more with heads and longtubes.
