That's not right, ls6 motor doesn't count the same way. If it did, then I'd drop an ls7 in my car with a big snotty cam and go after the cam only record.
Ls1 cam only, is a 97 thru 2002 ls1 motor, you can do anything you want externally, heads can come off to flycut... but the original heads must go back on (casting #) and the heads can not be milled/touched at all. Gaskets must be a GM gasket, mls ones is fine. Valve springs o.k., no aftermarket valves, bottom end can't be touched, although alot of guys do put rod bolts in so they can wizz it higher, I don't really think that's right.

cam only fastest list
I also wondered this when i saw #19 made the list. He has 243 heads and i also think that shouldn't count, but i just figured i was the only one who thought this so i didn't say anything lol. The list does say ls1/ls6 but shouldn't that only apply to the block?
But i feel flycutting and rod bolts should be allowed, but no changing pistons. BTW i have neither so im unbiased. I just take the chance and spin my 00 block to 7200rpms.

I have never seen any internet race cam only classes at my local track?? Where does one verify the car is cam only besides internet post? Say what you want but the internet class thing is retarded with out tech officals at the track tearing cars down to see if they really are "cam only".
Can you really verify someone doesn't have an offset ground stock crank and touched up stock casting heads? If someone wants to make a class why don't they make a " stock appearing class "
If there truely are cam only races how is this fair for other people going for the record who live at higher elevations? Not all tracks are open all fall and winter long to run in amazing air. Doesn't seem like a fair class at all. Heads up racing seems the only fair way.

I had a problem with it when he first was posting his times and asked to be on the list, but noone else seemed to care so I just let it go. He says he has a "cam-only" LS6...which might be true, but it still doesn't belong on the list in my opinion.
Otherwise someone should put a "cam only" LS7 in their car and take the title..

Hell why stop there, I'll just get an LS9 crate motor, put the biggest cam in that I can and go probably faster then I have already.
cam only, is a stock ls1 motor, like what SS performance is running. That is a good example of a really good running cam only car. It's light, leaves hard and runs strong, exactly what the entire thing was about from the beginning.
It's not really open to all the ls generation of motors... if it was, like I said.. ls9 with a big *** cam here I come LOL.

They are the rules that were set-up way back when... no reason to change them now. The whole list is void if you can put 243's on the car all the sudden..

Do what you want.Cam only is only an internet thing.Alot of people pull the original heads to flycut.In my opinion why pull the heads without milling them and redoing the valvejob?That makes it more than Cam only but I'm sure a few of the "Cam Only" guy's did just that.
