I have the LS6 intake. I would have to guess power to be around 400 at the crank given a slightly bigger cam but less head than an LS6 (rated at 405).
I got a recommendation for a street friendly cam from "Patrick G." and he spec'd out:
218/226
.598/.570
115 LSA
I listened to some idle videos of similar sized cams and decided on the milder one. Probably could have gotten away with the bigger cam but I was coming off years of big HP at the expense of MPG and annoying as all hell fuel stink. I was done and not willing to risk it. Plus the other stuff you mentioned, I would have started to look at injectors, ported oil pump, upgraded t-chain and right back down the rabbit hole... Now that it doesn't stink and you can hear yourself think, the kids ask to take it everywhere we go, that's worth a lot more than the 150-250hp I gave up from the previous engines.
I need to have it tuned but I'm waiting to get the AC on in case some adjustments need to be made so no actual power numbers. Should pick some up from what you experienced at Rex Raceway. "Tuned by Frost" has a great reputation and he (Steve Williams?) uses the dyno at PAS in Richmond. Also does mail order, but Richmond is local enough.
It's very tempting when it's sitting there on the stand begging for go fast goodies...
Wow that is very mild, hmm. I was looking at the 228R at 114LSA on the milder side. And then between the 228/232 113 LSA, Torquer V2 cam, and the MS3 cam. I am doing an LS2 timing chain anyway, as well as an LS6 oil pump. I really should contact "patrick g." Seems like he knows what to do and will help you out.
Glad to know Tuned by Frost is local, sounds like ill be trailering down to richmond once the motor is in.
