LS7 cam in LS3...
#2
Keep in mind that the rocker ratio on the LS7 is 1.8 compared to 1.7 on the LS3. So the LS7 lift of 0.593 would be reduced to 0.560 when installed in the LS3. Still higher than 0.551 with the stock LS3 cam though.

Thanks, Hans. I'm with and ahead of you on that. This also requires a longer pushrod due to the smaller base circle of the ls7 cam. My thinking is this will give a small boost in torque, moderate bump in hp, slight lope, with no downside at all. I suppose we'll see when this gets done.

I was actually thinking of picking up a cheap LS7 cam for my 6.2 engine build.
Then I saw that people were demanding a premium for them simply due to the fact that it was a "corvette 7.0 LS7 cam." It really made more sense to just spend $150 extra and get an aftermarket cam.
If you really need to run custom pushrods, then it really might not be worth it.
What kind of engine did you want to run it in?

For a blower car I think the LS7 is a great cam for a sleeper but for an NA car you need a little more duration, I would look at the new TR cam Cheatr V.3 219/229 .607 .604 117LSA. Will still run like stock and tons of tq with the higher lift. LS3 heads love lift.
