i picked up a LS7 cam and springs to hopefully put in the truck and on 1.8 rockers it has a .591 lift is what i read and
.558 with 1.7 rockers, can a 4.8 handle that or is it to much with the 1.8's, should i just use the stock 1.7 rockers? thanks.

heres the specs:

Intake 211 deg. Exhaust 230 deg.

Lift .591 with 1.8 rocker and .558 with 1.7 rocker.

 

the ls7 is a 230/211, i think itd run like *** in a 4.8

 

^ i wasnt sure thats why i asked before i put one in.

 

with a 1.7 rocker it will be .558/.558

 

alright but anymore opinions on how you think it will run with the ls7 cam? i dont want to put it in and be dissapointed.

 

do it already i got some 1.85 rockers for sale

 

the LS7 cam specs are:
211 degree intake / 230 degree exhaust
.591"/.591" Intake/ Exhaust

It'll run better than teh stock cam, butthis cam is designed for 7.0 liters that will make peak power at 6400 rpm in a 3100 lb Corvette..

Your 2.2L's short and at least 1000lbs heavier(at best) I'm sure there are better cams for your application.

i might just go ahead and put it in to see, but still thinking if i should get rockers or not?

 

oh and would it change the idle at all to lope more or anything?

 

should i just wait to get the motor bored and heads milled? would that help?
