what is too big for an LS1 (cam wise) Comp 236/244 601/612 112 lsa
theres a deal locally on this cam..
would I have any p/v clearance issues?
with a tune could I drive this daily?
what kinda power is possible with full bolt ons and stock heads?
400rwhp?
200 bucks btw

If there is no advance ground into the cam, it "might" fit, but would have to be clayed for accuracy. If there is any advance at all ground in, I wouldn't even bother. Personally, I don't think it would fit at all, but others may beg to differ.

Why don't you think it will fit? There are several larger cams run in otherwise stock LS1's all the time. I mean, just look at the Trex 
With a good tune you could easily drive it daily. You will want steeper gears though. >400 rwhp possible and every car is different.

I think it would fit but check it to be sure. The difference between a cam with .600 lift and .560 is .040 ... that is about the thickness of a dime. It is not very much. If you looked at 2 valves with one open .560 and the other.600 it would be hard to tell the difference. This doesn't mean you will not have clearance issues but people make a bigger deal about some these clearances than their really is.

It pushes the limits of P/V clearence. The same cam cut on a 112 can be done, but they reccomend you never float a valve or it's over with. That's how unrealistically tight people are running these cams.
Although you seem a little loose with that info considering that they, for some reason, don't want people to know. Oh well.

I'll do a search on it and see.....Edit: I don't see it in search. I did see a thread with both louis and JRP from barely over a montha go (4/20) that stated the specs still weren't known publically.
