Help me out guys.

What do you think this would work well in, or what would it take to make this work well?

Maybe I should have phrased it differently. Should this cam have enough PTV clearance on a stock bottom end LS1? What about with 799 heads that are milled 10 thousandths?

Thinking of using it along with a TPIS 90mm LS6 intake, 799s are hand ported and flow as follows
Intake Exhaust
200..159 117
300..210 159
400..254 169
500..281 187
600..296 203


PSI 1511s, Manton 11/32, 90mm TB, 1 3/4 LT into Corsa. Car has a 3200 Vig currently. I'm not opposed to re-stalling it higher and possibly switching to 1 7/8 TSP with TSP true duals....

that intake valve closes pretty late. i'd check it with clay to be sure.

i'm no cam guru, but the lift and duration seems like it would be okay with your car. it was probably intended for something a bit lighter with that lobe sep.

but take that with a grain of salt please. like I said i'm no guru, i just saw your post had no replies and I thought i'd get the ball rolling
