Default 5.3 with LS6 Cam Sound Clips ?

Do any of you guys have any sound clips of your 5.3 trucks with the LS6 cam? I am curious if there is any slight lope?

I have read that there are some 20hp gains with the LS6 cam. That is pretty considerable for a baby cam. Mine sounds like a boat under water at idle right now lol, may be the ls6 cam will help that

Sorry about the bad photography, used a cell phone. This was actually a LPE GT2-3 cam but is very very similar. I ended up advancing it +4* and that is what the comparo pic is. I t brought the rpms down about 600rpms. Oh yea this was my old truck. Final numbers were 267hp and 292lbs 3rd gear. Had 95,000mi on it with CAI, Corsa sport, shorty headers, dyno tune, LS6 springs, double roller timing chain, MSD wires, denali 17" wheels and tires.

From what ive heard 00' GM 5.3 are making 230ish hp stock so i got 40 out of it. Not bad I guess. Not shure of tourque numbers, im guessing 260ftlbs maybe a few more stock. Slowhawk did a great job smoothing out the curve and got me some more ponies on the dyno tune. Definetly seat of the pants power gains over all. The newer trucks will make more and some LT's/ORY would help a lot too.

I figured with the smaller cubic inch engine it would lope a little? Either way the truck should pick up a decent bit for 100 dollars and some time.
