Default LS7 Cam

Will it work in my LS1? I'm looking for a good sleeper cam that will give me some top end gains and the specs look good to me. Anyone have it?

Specs:

211/230 116 Centerline .561/.558

I think there are some people that have done this, but keep in mind...the head architectures between the LS1 and LS7 are about as similar as night and day. The LS7 cam was designed to be used with LS7 heads, and just a *few* more cubic inches.

I plan on going with some nice PRC 5.3L heads.

Which still don't have the LS7 raised runner intake port design...I think you'd be better off getting a cam that is custom ground to do what you want.

Thanks Meent. I guess i'll just try the CheaTR grind with lower lift.
