Default Check Out Andy's "Secret Cam": Looks Like He Is On To Something

Surprising Results, maybe this will result in some design changes that will help push FI efficiency/HP & TQ gains upwards of where we are now

Nothing new. As he even states no one cam fits all. Z06 cams are used by more than a few FI people.

Stock cams are always great turbo cams because they don't have any overlap. The higher lift and duration of the Z06 makes it perform even better than the smaller lift counterparts. It would be interesting to try a Comp LSK lobe on a small duration cam.

the psi is more important than the cam, i made 787rwhp with a stock 98 cam, and 836 with a change to a z06 cam, same boost, then with a big cam made 995.

I still dont think anyone has beat my 9.48 @ 144 with a 2001 Z06 cam lol. A whopping .525 lift and 204/211 @ .050 on a 116LSA.

LS7 cam is 212/230 .591 on a 120LSA or somethilng like that I think, looks like a good blower cam to me

Yea i was under the same impression. How much does an LS7 cam retail for? Are they selling for cheap on vette forums?
