The LS9 cam is designed to have a positive displacement blower behind it. It bleeds off ALOT of cylinder pressure! Listen to skoal bandit here, he knows first hand. Unless there if somekind of forced induction behind an LS9 cam, it will be a total dog N/A. You will get better all around performance from your stock cam then this one.
