Yes.
Either go to a Cadillac forum, or post about it in the Other Cars section of this forum.

You would probably get your answer faster on one of the V forums; I fins CTSVOWNERS forum to be better than the regular Cadillac forum.
I had a Gen-2 V and had an LS9 cam installed; no headers or aftermarket exhaust. It had a mild lope to it, but I wasn't trying to make it sound like my Vette. I wanted it to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. After a minimum about of mods and some tuning it was a solid mid 10 second car.
Good luck with your search....

I ran the CMC 600 Cam in my C5 Z06. Loved it.

I know have a 11 CTSV and thinking of doing the LS9 cam or thr CMC50 CAM through 21st. Give Matt a call at 21st he would be happy to help. You wanting mid to upper power or lower end power? Also check out ctsvowners.com. They would also be willing to help.
here is what my CMC600 cam sounded like on my LS6

I owned each of these and did varying mods:
'01 C5 Z51
'02 C5 Z06
'04 GTO (Installed LG G5X-3 with 1500 miles)
'05 CTS-V
'08 TBSS
'09 CTS-V (575 rwhp - bought modded, had LS9 cam)
'03 Sierra 4.8/5-Speed (Installed 01 LS6 Cam/Springs)
You will need to be careful in putting too much cam in the V and losing the low end torque. The C5Z with taller gears will rip to redline as the car is so light. With +800# extra to haul around it doesn't feel the same.
Tony mentioned or some of the other tuners will probably weigh in...good results seemed to be common back in the day with the LPE GT2-3 Cam as well as the Katech Torquer.
The idea here was to maximize area under the curve vs. focusing on peak numbers.
Here is a posting from Katech. Nice fat curve there:
