Yeah max lift is .595 and they say either .600 beehives or .650 duals. I went straight to the BTR .660 platinums and reused my hardened pushrods and ti retainers. Did the Straub trunions too.

Ive contemplated the same thing lol. I think it's like -.5 overlap so it's a good compromise cam. Drives nice, will pull to 7k, can work with boost or spray, etc. Being a traditional split will help with the spray.

I've made my mind up. I'm doing it 👍. I get the car Sunday. Going to order the cam kit Monday . 3600 converter seem like the best option?

I think it would work nicely. I think they say it'll work even with a stock stall so you know it drives well.

This thread is humorous. Perhaps consider the SUM-8707 Pro LS Stage 2 226/238 113 +3 .600/.600

Good eye. The splits on our N/A cams look large at stage 1, but close up by stage 4. It's mostly a function of exhaust opening being pretty early across the board on most of our cams, but not over 60. The other events are pretty conventional and we have each of them in logical steps. In the case of the Stage 2, the events are 3 btdc I/O, 43 abdc I/C, 55 E/O and 3 EC. It has 6 degrees of overlap.

Our Stage 3 and 4 LS3 specific cams are designed to optimize p to v, but we've been careful to not close the exhaust valve too late in order to prevent reversion...Consequently splits are a little less on those two particular cams.

Okay gotcha.

It's an interesting camshaft. It originally was designed to be a Stage 1 Turbo and we ended up calling it the SUM-8715 Stealth Turbo because of the timing events and it's ability to do dual-duty. It's a 222/233 115+3 and uses the .600/,575 lobe series the other turbo cams utilize. The events are -1 I/O, 43 IC, 55 E/O and -2 E/C. As noted before, exhaust opening pretty early so certainly nitrous capable. Depending on where you set idle speed you can smooth it out or give it a bit of idle. With it's 43 I/C it will pull pretty good up high without giving up much down low.

We all have different preferences and tolerances but here’s my thoughts...I’d keep it simple and do Titan 2, ls6 manifold, maybe some 243s, and a Yank SS3200. Would be a great performing and easy driving DD and wouldn’t completely kill the mpgs if that matters to you. Not digging all of the cams recommended in this thread. For a DD I think minimal overlap is best to maximize drivability and minimize the stink, at least IMO anyways. I use to DD a heads/cam car with a SS3600. Was cool when I was 19 years old. Wouldn’t want that now but sounds like you’ll have a quiet exhaust setup planned so perhaps the 3600 will work out just fine. Friend of mine has a SS3200, a little too mild for a weekend car but freaken perfect for a DD, again, in my opinion.

It's true. For a car guy, working here is like being a kid in a candy store for sure. And we're surrounded by a bunch of other car people, so that's good too. We've got some new things that we'll be launching in December that you'll really like.

How about this cam? Its not a TSP 228/228

Flow Tech Induction

LSx "StreetSweeper-HT" Hydraulic Roller Camshaft
Specs: 228*-232*-111*-.612"-.600"
The power band is “roughly” between 2500 to 6600 RPM for 346-355 cubic inches
Extremely strong mid-range and top end without sacrificing any low end torque

That cam isn't in the same league for driveability. It'll pull harder up top though.

Had that exact cam and now have a CM version of it. I would not recommend for a LS1 DD personally. I don't like +8 degrees overlap for a DD in a 5.7. Excellent cam for a weekend car however.
