I didnt want a cam with a rough idle or a very chopy one either i just wanted a mild cam that sounded stock into i was at WOT and to add a little more hp

No it won't work. There is no cam sensor trigger on the back of the LS7 cam.

I wonder if it would work if you changed the front cover and put the LS7 style cam sensor in there?

You can do that, but that will involve a new LS2 front cover, LS2 half moon (24x) timing gear, and extension harness.

The LS7 cam is also not optimized for LS1 motors, so I would not recommend it. Upgraded springs would be needed, as lift on 1.7 rockers will be .558" - LS7 springs would be suitable and cheap.

Also the LS7 cams are designed to optimise the breathing of the LS7/LS3/L92 heads. Not the best choice for an LS1. '02 LS6 or GMPP Hot Cam are better choices for your intended purpose. Still need to switch out springs to LS6 yellows or better for best results.
I hate to say it, but you may even find more performance with a stock sound and idle hitting up PatG or some of the other sponsors here for a custom grind.

there are much better cams out there....that are DESIGNED for the ls1.

besides with the high lsa of the ls7....it would probably be very peaky.

224r will give you about 380rwhp give or take, with boltons.

I agree with the other guys, there are many good cams that you can choose from that are not too lopey and that are really great DD's. If you want to stay close to stock and keep the idle down, go with a low 220'ish cam and don't go crazy with LSA. lol

However...I say screw it and drop a 232 or 233 cam in it! haha

yea i was thinking either a TSP 220/220 or a VRX1 texas speed say that a 116 lsa has a sleeper idle anybody heard anything about either one of these cams or have any sound clips

Its too bad the ls7 cam won't work. I always thought it would be a good turbo cam, i'm pretty sure its .59x lift with 1.8 rockers, and the low(er) duration is good for boost along with 120lsa
