Has anyone run a cammed LS7?? Hey guys,
I want to know if us and Katech are the only ones who have run cammed LS7's?? I would like to see what kind of numbers others have found.
Thanks,

We have not run a cam-only setup yet but we do have a C6 Z06 with worked-over LS7 heads and cam. So far it has put down 582rwhp and 507rwtq but we are still looking at ways to improve the package.

Are you looking for results with cam only upgrades or any wilder than stock combo? I know Andy at A&A Corvettes has a 441 LS7 about to hit the rollers. Has a solid roller cam 
FYI don't try to machine the heads for 1.550" springs. Some core shifted heads will end up water cooling the springs.

What is a core shift? Is that when the passages and such are shifted slightly from one casting to another because of the way the metal is poured?

Chuck here did one some time again and made 550 to the wheels with a cam and headers etc. The heads are so good that the cam adds a lot of power even though they are already really up there in oem trim.

The cam is pretty lumpy. I'll try to get a sound clip of it but it sounds very mean. The cam isn't big enough to where it impairs drivability however. The owner was given many compliments on the sound when driving down the front straight at Road Atlanta. The heads are still confidential but I will report back to forums if I get any information.
