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!

I'm installing a little larger cam in my wife's car and the cam grinder said it made around 395 in a stick car with headers and vararam.

Majority of the 224-228 duration cams are near if not slightly over 400 whp on bolt on LS1's. Good driveability and idle.
Thunder racing has a Cheatr cam that idles close to stock but has made close to 400whp as well. Its a sleeper cam that offers stock driveability yet great power everywhere. I think its a 215/230 deg cam on a wider 116 lsa or so. Forget the specs but its a cam I was considering for my trans am daily driver, but now I may go bigger just to get some more cam sound to the car.
