Don't understand your question....


Oh and don't forget the longer push rods for the Z06 cam...

doesn't a wider LSA make for a broader range of TQ and HP?

From what I understand it does, but a tighter LSA will bring the torque in sooner, I might be wrong thou... Also you have to remember these two cams are on completely different cam lobes, which plays a big part in the TQ/HP... So comparing these two cams is like comparing apples and donkeys...

Also the LSA will directly affect the DCR of the engine, a tighter LSA will increase the DCR and a wider LSA will decrease the DCR.... Once again from my understanding, I might be wrong....

Also if you look at the cam quide sticky, the comp cam rpm range starts at 800, the GM cam starts at 2000.... Not sure how accurate that is but that is what is posted...

The duration also plays a part in that.
In discussing the LS2 cam specs with some guys (200/203 dur .500/.500 lift), and it was decided that it would be a torque monster down low.
