i have the 222 228 115 cam, and some 243's with a ls6 intake just need to get the rest of the supporting mods. Im just wondering what kind of power the cam is capable of because i havnt' seen to many people with it. which makes me think its a tiny cam and i should go a bit larger.

yeah head are stock not ported i thought about having them ported but dont know of any reputable shops around here or what the cost is, same goes for the intake. i do plan on maybe going with a blower one day but hey if this gets me to 400 great. im just wanting to do it right the first time and enjoy it not keep taking it apart to fix something i forgot.

Im picking up my car tommarrow, just had cam put in. ECS Blower cam 220/228 581 595 116LSA. Mild cam but everyone is telling me to expect to see 50-75hp depending on my tuner. Ill let you know exact umbers when I get it on the Dyno next Saturday. I am at 341 now, hoping to 425, with VR and PD!

Unlikely your 1999 will make 430rwhp Justin - not with your LS1 241 casting heads. On a C5 Z06, yes - on a LS1, highly unlikely without cutouts (like Mojo1) or other mods (FAST intake etc.)
I would guess your 1999 with the LS6 intake will make in the 420rwhp range with the Whiplash II - that is what we have been seeing consistently with the LS1 Vettes. Look in our ongoing cam thread in C5 General for dozens of dyno charts & driveability comments from customers.

That power range is perfectly fine with me. I just meant in general that is the power range I would like to be. I would have to do more things to the car to it to get there and I am not money capable at the moment. I will be more than satistfied to be in the 415-420 range with the Whiplash II and the famous EG tune. Hmmmm I can almost taste it

Decent cam only numbers, but just a FYI for the OP....Adding my TF custom heads, and using a smaller cam than this, I had almost 60 more RWTQ than these numbers. HP is great, but TQ is really noticable.
