[QUOTE=joelster]You are talking abot the 4/7 swap cam for conventional firing order SBC’s and LT1’s. LS1’s fire totally different. To my knowledge there are no aftermarket cams for an LS1 that alter the firing order, there is no point.

ahh maybe ur right i dont know much about ls1, lt1 anyways, i play with the real thing.

JK but no i thought they where the same.

Howie, another thing is the “stock head” moster cams (24x\* dur.) Some of them have a crazy agessive lobe profiles. Thats hammers spring down in ther presuer #'s pretty fast. 10-25K miles there way down with soft specs. The matinuse isnt low on them.

Very safe of lifters falling when the motors out, on the stand anyway. Just turn it over.  
gavity\>lifter tricks. Works on other motors with lifter trays too.

dont forget the heads have to be off too.

no stock LS1 revs to 7100. Only way you rev that high is if you are running a topend cam like the Trex and headwork.

You dont need to be going balls out, get a mild cam and upgrade the springs and retainers. You’ll love it

Yeah ok. Hundred bottle’s through it. No problem. Not sayin it won’t go but i’m still counting. You’d be surprised how far you can push a stock short block.

just to add.

Way more stock shortblock 600+ whp car’s out there compared to 10 bolt’s with slick’s. :gotme: 10 bolt goes first everytime. You can really push the limit’s when your tuned perfectly.
