That may be the biggest split I've ever seen on a cam. Cool!

This is actually a GM cam - LS7 stage 3. I think it is available to the public now. The lobe design is amazing. It has excellent valvetrain dynamics even on the heavier L92 valve.

Just a little food for thought...

That motor makes 1 HP shy of the Carerra GT motor, all from pushrod technology and a little bit of Katech engineering.

Not to mention the LS7 definitely has smaller dimensions and probably weighs a lot less too.

Although it looks like the ported L92s are doing as well as the LS7 heads, here is the cam with With 1.8 rockers and LS7 heads:

Too bad they didn't just change the cam on each test. Instead they changed the cam and headers. The last test run looks like a nice combination.

What I am wondering is that the Stage 3 cam does not make more power than the Katech Torquer cam (220/244) on a similar LS7 engine.

Yes it does. The Stage 3 made 640 on an LS7
