There's a couple of threads over on LS1tech. Do a search for "dyno results" in the Internal Engine Forum.
The 01-02 cars are seeing 30+rwhp/15+rwtq peak gains. The 98-00s are seeing about 20+rwhp/10+rwtq(the stock cam is bigger than the 01-02s and no LS6 intake manifold). I haven't re-dynoed since my cam install. I gained about 3.5mph and dropped a little over 3 tenths running the stock LS1 tuning. I'm sure I can pick up another tenth by raising the rev-limiter to 6500 and the shift points to 6300RPMs.
________02 SS (stock)__ 02 SS (SLP PP LID)___02SS (LS6 cam, SLP LID)
R/T______1.457________0.784_____________0.825
60'______2.306 ________2.305_____________2.315
330'_____6.035 ________6.020_____________5.917
1/8 ET___9.063 _________9.031____________8.828
1/8 MPH__81.84 ________82.62_____________85.29
1/4 ET___13.875 _______13.834____________13.474
1/4 MPH__102.00 _______102.00____________105.84
I dynoed right before the cam install and the car came in at 309.6rwhp/328.7rwtq. Bone stock the car put down 306.9rwhp/325.8rwtq. I was really disappointed with the SLP Perf. Parts LID. I hope to dyno later this week, I will edit this post when I do.

I dont think the money and time to do the install would be worth the gains you would see.
If you put a dyno sheet from a stock LS1 up to the dyno sheet of an LS1 with the LS6 cam you would see the same exact HP numbers up until about 3800 RPMS. That is when the LS6 gets it power. If you are going to spend the money you might as well get a good power cam.

I gained 15 rwhp and 8 rwtq with this cam.I only had a lid and cutout after the install.Yes you only gain after 4k,but when you race where are your rpms at,4k+.My 3.73 gears woke this cam up.I really like the stock behavior of the cam and telling people i only have lid and exhaust after I beat them is always cool.
I like the cam,I knew I was getting a small cam,so I did not expect much.I got everything fo 575 installed,parts & labor.
