Picked up a stock Ls3 cam from a 2010 SS camaro for cheap, Im looking for information on pushrod length for the swap. From what Ive found so far its base circle is approximately 1.505 but Im not sure on the specs of the factory 4.8 cam. Anybody on here have experience with this cam? Specs are very similar to the Ls6 cam but in a single bolt cam.

 

Use your stock pushrods, LS3 camaros use the same part# pushrod as any other non AFM LS series engines. Frukk Google, my info is confirmed.

 

I know of a guy running this cam in his truck and it really didn't make much of an improvement..

 

True, its not a big gain....but the OP stated that he already had the cam in his possession, was just answering his question.

 

I figure its good for 20whp in a na engine, however the truck will have a gt45 helping it along so it might make a lil more power. Btw im not reusing the stock pushrods or valve springs bc of the turbo hence another reason y i wanted pushrod length. Im still thinking it should have to be slightly longer than stock and unfortunately iu cant measure it right now.

 

Closest match to stock pushrods is 7.400" , which is slightly longer than stock.

 

get a real cam while your at it ,

 

Go lay in traffic

 

^^^^ lol ouch!
