I have done a ton of these and agree right around 220@.050 is the sweet spot for a LM7 5.3L. Might see a little higher pk hp number up around 230 but tq and power under the curve will suffer. Also that head likes the higher lifts. You can run a shorter duration on a tighter lsa and get that BIG cam sound without the BIG cam soggy tq curve. A tight lsa will generally help power everywhere on the lm7. I do a lot of custom 218/221, .58X, 108 lsa and 221/224, 108 lsa and the guys love them. A few have been deep to lower 12's on a well set up truck. We even have one turbocharged lol...

By the way, the setups in your sig sound bad ***.
And lol at having a turbo truck on a 108 LSA cam
