around what duration and LSA is your Stage 3 - The wXm LT1 Game Over? I don't need exact specs if you dont disclose them. but curious how cbig small it is compaired to what I am doing.
The LSA somewhere in between 110 and 130, + or - some numbers.

Just kidding, but I really can't give the specs out.

Eddy or Ben,
I notice that the 2 dyno sheets for your cam packages in this thread stop below 6500 rpm. What redline are they good for? I know FYREANT for example has stated that his is set at 7200 rpm.
I'm interested in a cam package. I'm looking for 7000 rpm, 525 at the wheels, and reliable. I'd say thats pretty reasonable.

I really like the VVT. Cams by TSP. I had the VVT 1 cam in my camaro and it made an additional 60 rwhp with tune.

I noticed that also. The power curve is still rising at 6500 rpm. I would think the rev limiter would be adjusted until the power curve starts to flatten out or declines, unless the valve train is not designed for higher speeds.

A redline is dependent upon what you have for an upgraded valvetrain as well as if you are running headstuds, etc. My build will support a 7200RPM redline no problem, but, because I am already over spinning my blower I can't use that high of a redline. I had to back my RPM down to 6700 so that I don't destroy my blower lol

We don't recommend going past 6500-6600 rpm without out roller rockers and Johnson lifters. Even with titanium valves and upgraded guides we saw valve deflection over 7000 rpm with stock rocker arms that have the trunion upgrade. I can certainly set you up with a cam package to achieve 7k rpm safely. You would be upgrading to Johnson link bar lifters and a shaft mount roller rocker setup. Although, you can make 525rwhp without spinning your engine past 6500 rpm.

So 15 total.... man talk about different then LS, haha

looking forward to getting back mine. I have not had a stock car in a long time so the 3-4 weeks I had the C7 was nice with all the new stuff but it lacked the funess of a modded cammed car.

the shacking, the sound, the funness of driving it, the looks, the extra power. all missed when driving it.

just hope i picked a good cam.... ha

You do realize there are probably a couple hundred C7's with aftermarket cams out there right? Lol

YES! I stated that in me first post. I understand there is a world way larger then the forum.

My point was trying to gather info, specs, videos what have you is HARD on this subject. there is only So many that are in the information sharing... and for this forum we are talking 15.

if you wanted to talk LS cams..... OMG the info is never ending.

Hell I am a car nut, and vett guy by habbits not choice, and have never seen a C7 cammed in person. its just rare at his point in the game. unless your at a main large event.

Fair enough. Some good points in there. I've never seen another cammed C7 in person either so theres always that. Hard to tell how they run and sound through YouTube.. lol

The hardest thing about this type of post is vendors really don't want to share their cam specs (lift, dur, etc) as then someone may copy them. Personally I think thats dumb because a competing vendor could just as easily buy one cam and have full access to the included cam card lol. "Whats the big deal?!" Lol
