Default 2005 C6 cam

2005 C6 cam
I understand that the 2005 C6 uses the 2001 385 hp Z06 cam.
Has anyone installed a 2004 405 hp Z06 cam in an 05 C6 LS2 or know what would be the gain in hp?

Default If you're going to put in a cam then put in a CAM!

The gain would be OK. The 2002-2004 Z06 cam specs are; 551 in/547ex
208/211 dur @.50 117.5 lsa Since you're going to all that expense try something like .222/.224 @ .50 .575/.582 in&ex on 115 lsa. Good low end torque. smooth idle, not the highest topend HP, but who lives up there anyway with a daily driver.

Going from memory here but didn't the March Hot Rod
