cam for 422" "ls7"
cam for 422" "ls7" I was wondering what you guys thought about a
246/252 114+2 .669/.649
How much power would I get going to a 112+2? I am toying with the 114 in case I spray a shot on it later.
I will be using the morel lifters, and the LS7 top end.

sounds like a good combination, but i might even go larger lke 250 + duration, i am running a 254 266 640 lift in my 408, with AFR 225's, i put down 550 rwhp 501 rwtq, drive's nice on the street with a speed density tune, i would think with your extra cubes, and bad-*** flowing heads you could pretty big i and make huge power

I would think that you need a lot more duration on the exhaust side. Chevrolet didn't create a 40° difference on the stage II HOT cam "just because". Granted I think this is overkill because I believe GM was bogged down in their R&D due to the stock exhaust manifolds and CATs, however, compare all of the LSX cams and I think you see a trend.

On the exhaust side, the wide LCA means an earlier EVO, to help dump the extra gas volume from the nitrous.

Big overlaps only work at high RPM with well-tuned open exhaust. The late IVC of a wide LCA, long duration intake adds top end power without the exhaust contamination, rotten idle and tuning issues.

IMHO if you have a poor flowing exhaust port the last thing you want is a tight lsa cam with a delayed opening of the exhaust valve. I think events are vary important to the equation and must be considered as one of the many things to making the car optimal. For instance, I wouldn't be running a single pattern cam on something which had e/i ratios of 60% or so, unless it was on a high lsa with a very good intake side (port, intake, throttlebody/carb, etc.).
Is the original cam suggested a hydraulic setup? Are those the lsk lobes? With some ls7 heads that sounds like a real good deal to me if the valve train can control those lobes. Good luck!
