Cam Change and Tuning

Went from a 224/224 114 to 227/227 114, I should be fine to drive the car to the dyno correct? Same lift.

OLSD tune though.

Those specs are very close so you should be fine but I would take it easy and wouldn't WOT. What are you doing with the 224 cam? What did you swap it out for only 3 degrees? My son is looking for a used one

This is LT1 land, and the 224 cam got chewed up by some lame *** LS7 lifters.

What's LT1 land? You are in LS1 performance > forced induction

I own an LT1, its a SBC and therefore not a LSX style cam.

I do not mention it cause it confuses LSX owners who only know 4.8/5.3/6.0 sbe stuff.

You will be fine driving to the tuner. Just be gentle. Even with OLSD the difference should be minimal considering the LSA's are the same.

You'll be fine, I changed to a smaller cc, much higher flowing/bigger valved set of heads and my tune didn't really change, a little more fuel up top was it, it liked the same timing everywhere.
