It's a gen IV cam like you said. It has a different cam position sensor(or one of those sensors I forget). Speartech(again not positive) makes a harness to relocate it. It's about $50 last time I checked.

Basically you can do it, but it severely reduces the cost effectiveness of the swap.

 

Ok, so they (LS1 tech sponsor, I forget who) said it wouldn't work they were talking about "out of the box" so to speak. I gotcha.

 

it just needs all the necesary parts to do it i guess but it will work?

 

Exactly, it won't work out of the box, but it can be made to work.

 

u just need a 3 bolt sprocket . . and get some hardened rods.. . ask "chevrolade"< he's running that same cam . on his NNBS . .

 

lets stick to one discussion here...and thats putting a cam into a GMT900. both the ls6 and ls7 cam will need the 3 bolt cam sprocket that came on the LS7.

 

Say what...........

 

Im running thiscam on my 08'4.8,i used stock pushrods no problem,just swapped to ls6 yellow valve springs.yeslowend sucks but high rpms are nice.stall should take care of the low end problem.yes get the ls7 sprocket.

 

First start up sounded a little rough, but it drove fine, didnt die really at all. But also this was on a stock "make my 4.8 run" tune after the v6-v8 swap. Also really it didn't seem like ALOT of tuning was needed after the swap.

Not really necessary like i have said several times, i see alot of high rpms cuz i drive like an ******* (right kyle) , and no problem so far

Agreed about shitty low end. Up top is nice. Actually today i had a buddy drive it so i could hear it from outside, IMO i can really tell when the cam kicks in.

no one mentioned that that truck has active fuel management that will probably have to be turned off after a cam swap.
