I'm not telling you you're wrong, but that isnt the way to go about it. I would again, do the custom route. Have a cam ground with less positive overlap and it will have a sleeper side to it. The LS7 cam is designed for a 427 not a 346. In essence it would be a stroker motor cam.

No reason to upset the rocker geometry. Just do the CHEAP trunion upgrade to the stock 1.7's. If you are looking for more power don't try and get it from upping the ratio. Swap the cam out and keep stock geometry.
