Just wondering if anyone has put this cam on a magnacharged 5.3? If not what does eveyone think about the idea? Specs are below.

211/230 duration .558/.552 lift on a 122.5 centerline

 

gen IV wont fit in a gen III motor.

 

yeah thats the only reason...

other than that it will work great

 

A 20 degree split between intake and exhaust is a total waste. A similar cam with a smaller split would run smoother and might give up a horsepower or two at the most. Might not give up anything. The only good thing about this cam is that it's cheap (or so I've heard).

 

Just a little clip from Lingenfelter’s website on the subject.

Before the LS9 was introduced LPE used the GT7 camshaft that John Lingenfelter designed in 2001 to be the perfect camshaft for boosted LSx applications. The GT7 was 208/230 @.050 valve lift and .554/.546 and 121 center line this camshaft produced excellent power and still had great street driveablity. In 2009 GM introduced the LS9 in the C6 ZR1 supercharged Corvette engine. After comparing specifications on the camshaft and finding out how economical this is due to it being mass produced Lingenfelter discontinued the GT7 and started using the LS9 in supercharged or turbocharged applications.

The LS9 camshaft is a 3 bolt design and will use the Lingenfelter 3 bolt cam conversion kit if you are installing it in a single bolt application like the 2007 – 2010 LS2 or LS3. If you are installing it in an earlier LS1 or LS6 engine with the cam sensor at the back of the engine you will need a 2005 LS2 front cover, 2005 1x cam sprocket, camshaft extension harness, 2005 LS2 chain dampner.

 

I agree with old motorhead. The 22* split that is biased on the exhaust side is not necessary if you are running LT headers. I think this was done to allow more time for exhaust flow out of a stock exhaust manifold. Most people that go FI already have LTs and this exhaust timing/duration would be better suited for a factory stock exhaust manifold application. I do like the rest of the #s on the LS9 cam specs.
