Are LS3 cam specs and results a closely guarded secret? I'm leaning toward something about 232/234 with .600 lift on a 112LSA. I won't release the exact specs or results if it isn't "kosher" for this forum.

Unfortunately the vendors keep their cam grinds secret.

Those willing to publish results (i.e. individuals buying their spec'd cam and a not a shop cam) seem to be selecting cams in the 228/232 114 range (+/- a few degrees of overlap) and hitting in the 460 - 480 RWHP range depending upon supporting mods.

We all hope that you'll publish your results

If the cam #'s are a secret, I won't buy the cam. I'll let you guys know how well it runs and the exact cam specs. Hoping for 460+ rwhp. Should be up and running in a week or so.
