I have a stock short block ls3 that i recently bought. I was just gonna buy a stock cam to put back in it, but would it be better to get a ls7 cam or a ls9 cam. I still want a stock sound just a lil extra ponies.

ls7 cam with 1.8 rockers?

Just trying to get some input.

LS7&9 cams have wider intake to exhaust lobe seperation. You would lose some mid range torque with either of this cams compared to the LS3 cam. I don't think you would see much power improvement. I have a 3k mile LS3 take out cam $150 shipped to anywhere in the 48 states.

Thanks for the help, im on the fence of getting a custom grind sneaky cam. But a aftermarket cam would mean, springs, and so on... Thanks for the cam offer i will pm you if i decide to go back with stock
