Default Input on cam specs for H/C/I LS7?

246/258 @.050, .664”/.632” lift, and 114 LSA

So I'm not an expert on cam specs. I understand what the numbers are but not how they interact with power and/or driveability.
Can yall comment on the cam specs at all? Power...driveability? Idle? Is this aggressive? Streetable?

427 LS7
Bridix BR7 ported
MSD ported
NW 102
2" headers...

Thank you in advance!

That's pretty similar to the BTR stage 3 cam specs. It's a pretty aggressive cam with a bit less overlap then the BTR. It'll pull hard and sound like a beast. With the 2" headers, ported heads and manifold it should put you in the upper 500s at the wheels. Drivability is subjective and a lot of that is in the tune. It might have some light surging at low speeds but it should drive fine. On a side note, LS7 with a big cam......awesome stuff.

Aggressive... Yes LOL
Streetable...... Depends on Tune, Age of driver & Tolerance for compromises.
YMMV

One heck of a combo imo should make around wheel 600 + I have a very similar cam and ported factory heads and it makes just over 600 wheel in a bit different fashion thought my combo is very simple 13 to one compression on E ported factory intake manifold and throttle body Kooks 1 7/8 headers and tho my car is 6L80 and have tall gears 3.42 from factory 2.73 which makes for low dyno numbers sense taller gears reduce resistance which is what the dyno measures.

Very nice. You are correct. Very similar numbers...you made more power and I made more torque. I'm at 520rwtq. Very nice set up!
