Looking at buying a custom cam from a friend..

It's a custom he had ground but found a GX5 i believe at a killer price.

It's a 210/230 .550/.559 115LSA

I can have it for 150 and i'm wondering how would this cam perform?

That sounds like a turbo cam.

It's actually very close to LS7 specs, lift's are slightly different and little less LSA. That peak at 6000-6100, fairly stealthy idle, and decent under the curve torque.

LS7- 210/230 0.559/0.556 120.5

Your going to get a bunch of people to tell you to get something else. If your budget bound it's hard to beat the price.

Those numbers are possible but not with those lifts, unless you put a set of Crane rockers on, then yeah it is possible with bolt ons.

Pred,

Mind making a guess on the numbers the car would put down with that setup along with edelbrock shorties and a bassani O/R Y? 380/390?

I'd be happy with 380rwhp
