Great job. Now that they're all on one page, gives people a quick reference to compare against custom and vendor cam offerings.
Thanks for posting this up.
I've seen some different lift values stated for the LS7 and LS9 cams, and I believe the LS7 gets some of its lift from higher ratio rockers (1.8), so it wouldn't have the same lift in a motor with stock 1.7 rockers.
I bet that thing runs good with the LS2 cam snd 1.85 rockers. If you think about it, we get better heads and intakes than the LS2 cars, and yet the L76 is rated at 39 less HP and 15ft lbs less torque. The L76 is just begging for a better cam, and that's why they respond so well to air-flow enhancing mods.
^ What he said ^ the ls3 cam paired with 1.85 rockers is too much for 918 springs tho. I was set on running the 918's. My dod is till active as well.
Side note, I was neck and neck with a srt8 magnum this morning from a roll. That is without being retuned since I installed my cam. I'm happy with that.
Everyone needs a bench mark! BTW you hope it is .5 seconds lol. It ain't .5 until you run it. James full bolton G8 never got below 12.83. My bolt on PB was 12.64 before the rockers and gears homie...
12.6 was before all of that. Fastest bolt on stock stall, street tire, sunroof, white hot, leather interior, lowered, 20in rim having g8 in cali LMAO...
Check out those cams prices at gm parts direct! They're stupid cheap! The LS9 cam is under $100, the LS3 cam is $110!!! Damn I know what I'm doing this summer, I'm slapping that LS3 cam in my car!
What do ya'all figure the LS3 am would be worth? I'm already running 12.5's at 112mph should that cam put me in like the 12.2's or better?
Yes, to run a ls7 cam you would at least need a springs. I don't however think that most would recommend that cam. It's your car, I'm not sure of your plans.
Thanks for the updates on the duration. I made changes to the op. I also added the chart you guys provided, thanks for that as well.
