New Guy Chevy Rocks Hi,
I am John. I am looking for some information. I have a 2009 Vette with LS3. I need to find out the CAM Specs. I want to upgrade, so I need the specs so I can compare to the new CAM I will purchase. It has 430hp now and I want to increase as much as I can with a CAM. I would like to swap the CAM that will use all the original hardware, hydraulic roller lifters, valve springs and rocker arms. I know Chevy makes a hotter CAM for the LS3, but I want to make sure there is not something better out there.
any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks, john

You are going for power, and taking the time to tear things apart for a cam swap, do it one time and do it right. Something that will retain the stock hardware isn't worth it for something looking to "make as much power as you can with a cam".
While you're at it you will want full bolt-ons to maximize whatever cam you get.

Cam upgrade Let me make a suggestion, get a bigger cam than that.
