"Stealth" Cam Upgrade?
I was wondering if anybody is developing or planning on offering a "stealth" cam upgrade? I've seen a few videos of a "stealth" cam done by Livernois and from listening to the car idle, it almost sounds stock. You have to really listen and pay attention to hear that it is actually camed. For someone that wants to appear completely stock and just surprise people, something like this would be AWESOME! Keep the exhaust, intake stock, pop the hood, all appears to be stock, until you hit the go pedal.
So, anybody on here have plans or something like this for the LT1? Livernois? Vengeance?

Your gains won't be as big, but smaller cams can make good average power which is what ultimately gets the vehicle down track fastest like my little 218/230 116 cam in my LS1 C5 with results in sig...I loved the looks on people's faces when it would outrun cars that actually sounded cammed and then they wanted to know where the bottle was hiding lol
Are you wanting to keep the AFM lifters?

If it CAN be done without having to remove the heads and change all the AFM hardware, it would be even better!

As long as you get rid of the AFM lifters, should be doable as I'm not sure they can support the extra spring pressure needed with boost and the aftermarket lobes.
