Yeah I'm just swapping cam, but with more airflow I might be better off keeping the 799's... Or not? I might add a tune to it eventually also.

Keep the 799's, best stock heads out there.

Also there is no "might" add a tune, it's a "must" do a tune. No matter what, if you swap camshaft the engine needs a tune. They do not self learn or self tune for changes made to the airflow model. All airflow and fueling calculations will be incorrect if you swap camshafts so a tune is required.

It's not likely that you'd have LS6 springs from the factory. Most have the 12589774 which has a max lift of .520.

Surprising HP Numbers From Our Stock LS Cylinder Head Test
It would be nice if these guys would set up the test engines for the real world, using a streetable camshaft for either a muscle car or one designed for a truck and run the same compression ratio to eliminate as many variables as possible. I enjoy doing such tests and reading about them but this one I think is flawed because of the compression ratio differences.

Yeah I wish they would’ve done the doggon 07 and up intake instead of that Fast unit.

Brian tooley did that with a cam called low lift truck cam.
. 500/. 500, 115 lsa, 224/230
they claim HP gain up to 66 HP.
No hardware change required.
Numbers are very similar than the lh9 cam.

Isn't that an AFM/VVT camshaft?

Crane developed a Gen III camshaft that made near 50 horsepower over stock with a 200-200 duration, same lift on a 113 LSA.
