Haha ya, it should idle practically like stock. Might be a little louder because of the added duration and lift, but it shouldn't have any lope to it.

so you went from a 216/218 to a LS6 cam
Any dyno numbers or gains felt from the swap?

I thought the ls6 cam was rumored to be a good boost cam, but I've never had a boost motor... His sig line says he has front mount 70mm so I'd intrested in the results too.

Yes, there lot a of guys running this cam with boost. I was looking for more TQ. My old cam seem to lack down low after the 80E install. The LS6 Cam seems to have a lot bottom but i havn't realy push the motor with the new cam yet.
