The guys at Texas Speed in Lubbock stabbed the LS7 cam in an LS2 GTO very early this year.

The results were miserable.

Here is the text...

Texas Speed Project 05 GTO Gets A Camshaft!
Guys I pretty much got tired of driving around in a bone stock car so I decided to install a LS7 camshaft in the goat. (211/230 .558/.558 120) After about 4 hours of wasted work we put the car on the dyno to watch her make 0 extra horsepower & lose a average of about 10hp/10lbft. Talk about making your sick feeling

Sunday morning I decided to install a Torquer 2 232/234 .595/.598 115+2 camshaft to replace the LS7 camshaft. The Torquer 2 camshaft typically gains about 50rwhp I'll post results & sound clips later this afternoon! Hopefully the car will still make good power even though the car is still running the stock manifolds & cats.

06,

What are you looking for out of a camshaft?
1. Do you have headers?
2. What kind of idle?
3. Retain low end torque?

Let me know and i can help you. PM me if you want. Just tell me what you want.
