Well my man, you too jumped at the the chance to try to poke fun at what you thought was an uninformed member.
Let me help you out.
If you can spare a couple of seconds; take a look at the WS6 store's Hi-Lift asa cam.
Do you see any type of similarity's?
Anything in common at all?
Keep up the good work.

I thought he said the Hi-Lift was 113°+3, NOT 110°+3??

I would be looking at the BTR Stage 3 V2 LS1/LS2 cam or the Cam Motion Titan 5 cam.

wow heres a link to the newest ls1/ls2 BTR na cams. They have about a 20 degree (or more) split between intake and exhaust. It honestly seems like recent cams are like this and they must be providing great results.

I reached out to Geoff at eps for cam advice recently and he suggested a 224/236, .604, .604, 113+2 for my ls1. Pretty similar to the 8707. Looks like 10+ splits are becoming the norm.

That's fascinating to me. When I was looking for a new cam a few years ago, I was looking at the EPS 214/232 .605/ .598 117+4 and the consensus seemed to be to stay away from a 10+ degree split, let alone something with as big a split as that cam.

I wonder if it’s because tuning abilities have increased?

I really don't know what the change is. There's always been LS cams with big splits, going all the way back to Thunder Racing and Lingenfelter stealth cams. People just said they weren't good anymore. What's old is new again?

Lingenfelter:

GT11 - 215/231 118 .631 .644
GT9 - 215/247 121 .629/.656


Thunder Racing:

cheaTR v.3 - 219/230 117 607/.604

Nah, not for boost. Stealth, true street cam. An updated version of the Lingenfelter GT cams that were popular a long time ago. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the guy behind EPS actually designed either the original Thunder Racing or newer Lingenfelter cams I mentioned above.
