ls7 camshaft
How well does the LS7 camshaft work in an LS1
I know there are other options but I'd rather have the LS7 camshaft
Because I have one of those already in the garage

Not just part A or part B but what is the overall goal for your car.
Most engine builders will let ppl know that they over cam their engine.
the dyno chart above could use a little explanation to help ppl understand how those numbers were made

1169 HP???? That obviously isn't simply an LS7 camshaft in an LS6....Did you use big heads with offset rockers? Forced Induction?
I would think that he could find a more tailored cam for his situation. Not knocking that it can be done....but I would think he'd be better off with a more conventional solution. Not to mention that the cam sensor relocation and other mods might take his "economical" solution out as a factor and he could spend the money on a cam that suits his needs better.

There is much more to this than most people think. The LS7 has a different rocker ratio compared to the LS1/LS6. It is also design for higher rpm. Point being, you can't just pull your stock cam and drop in a LS7 cam and expect good results.
