Not to mention the fact you will have to spend money out the *** just to match the LS7 heads....

Titanium pushrods are like 500 bucks con rods are 2 grand still come out 5 grand ahead.

A camshaft that doesn't have to idle like grandma's Cadillac would more than make up for the power of the titanium, con rods, pushrods, and intake vlvs.
