Default Ligenfelter Cams

Does anyone have the Ligenfelter GT-11 215/231 .631 .644 118 LSA or Ligenfelter GT2-3 207/220 .571 .578 118.5 LSA cam? If so, how do you like em? I am looking for a nice bump over my 02 Z06 cam while retaining stock idle (smooth idle is importante' to me).

Thanks for any input

I'm no expert but are those lifts pretty high? At least the GT-11, won't that be hard on the springs (i.e. shortened life)?

LPE is best known for drag racing right? I think their cams will reflect that history.

I have the GT-11. Extremely smooth idle and no surging or bucking; in fact I can even cruise in 6th gear at 950 rpms. I have a 427cid C5R high compression motor but the cam drivability characteristics should be the same even for your motor.


HTH,

GT2-3 here - increase from 3500 up and you'd never know it had a cam unless you said so.

Gains won't be quite as great for you with an 02+ Z06 cam though..
