Thinking on New Cam - LS7 236/248 .637/.652 116LCA 114ICL (116+2)
Looking for better drive ability compared to my old 242/256 .646/.668 113+2 camshaft, while maintaining similar power and rpm band.
This new cam decreases my overlap at 50thou from 23 to 10, while building more torque downlow, a slight loss in upper rpms hp, but powerband still maintaining a 7K rpm redline. Will this happen with this cam?
Funny thing is these two cams maintain the EXACT same DCR, but the new one has less overlap/duration/lift but same split...
427 - LS7 headed motor. 11.4:1 SCR Daily Driver...
Let the debate begin.
(Reason for new cam is motor threw a rod , so I'm probably getting a new shortblock)
