Default Turbo & Lingenfelter GT11 Cam??

Just curious what you guys think of a Lingenfelter GT11 Cam for my 370 T70 build? Im ditching an MS4 will this cam work better? Specs on Lingenfelters site show 215 231 .631" .644" 118 centerline... Any help or advice on it would be greatly appreciated.

They suggested for me to buy the LS9 cam or one of their other grinds (I do not remember wich one but it was close to the LS9 cam), LS9 being cheaper and close to the same specs. But they were the only ones suggesting sutch a small cam for my build so I did not go that route. I too would like to know the answer to this question.

Go with either the GT7 or the LS9. you don't need that kind of lift for a forced induction motor. I think I spoke with you (Jeff at Lingenfelter).

I am still running my old cam, but still thinking of changing if this one does not work as expected. I would first like to see the results of a LS9 cam setup.

I looked at the gt11 and aps ran some numbers back in the old threads with it. I decided to run a gt7 mostly cause the really high lift would likely make it hard to avoid valve float under boost or require way more constant spring changes.I did add 1.8 rockers to give me around 590 lift. Might go back to 1.7 in future not sure. I think the gt11 with around 590 to 600 lift would be a much better FI cam.
So what are the ls9 specs?

And sorry no dyno numbers with my car till next season.

From what I understand it will but you have to run the timing cover,timing gear set, cam sensor for a LS2 and newer engine plus a wiring harness adapter.

Yes, if you run the LSX block, or a LS2 block or newer block, The cam sensor is located up front so if you put one of these engines in a f-body you have to use a wiring harness adapter that plugs into the cam sensor plug in the OEM harness and stretches to the front of the engine to plug into the new sensor location. So to run this cam in a LS1 ,ls6, or iron block 6.0L you use a LS2 front cover, ls2 style timing set, LS2 cam sensor, wiring harness adapter that you can get from most of our sponsors, and leave the old sensor were it is to plug the hole. No big deal. The cam is cheap, but once you buy all of these parts assuming you already have an aftermarket Timing set that is good and has the LS2 style cam sprocket, this way is a little cheaper then buying an aftermarket cam. If you do not have the LS2 timing set, and your timing set is good, then it is cheaper to just buy a aftermarket cam.

GT11 is very aggressive and responsive for its low duration. this cam pulls very strong in n/a cars. i had in n/a street 6.0 and it was responsive.
it should only compliment a forced induction application.

No, CL is the centerline of the intake lobe, so CL is how many degrees before or after bottom dead center or top dead center the intake or exhaust lobe (depending wich one you are talking about) center is (Max lift). Lobe seperation is how many degrees the intake and exhaust are seperated from each other.
