How much added power from LS7 cam and 2" long tube headers(tuned)?
I ordered them up and i'm curious what people may have made or think they'll make.

Not enough to justify the work in my opinion. Ill say 30rwhp.

I am not sure about the choice of the ls7 cam, my comments refer to adding a cam in general.

Not gonna see a big gain from that cam, but you can throw it in there with the stock valve train so its cheap. I would guess you will see 15-20hp though the curve with that cam, plus some torque. Long tubes wake these cars up big time... your hole setup from stock will be a very nice improvement!

Ls7 cam is ground for 1.8 rockers. What made you pick this cam?
Your biggest gain will be made by the headers and the tune.

I'm not sure 2" primary headers are the best choice for this set up. If you are going through all the motions of a cam swap there are much better choices for a cam.

The LS7 cam really isn't worth it. It's pretty mild.

Lol if that your goal then no need for a cam.
25% Underdrive pulley 2" headers 3" catback Vararam intake TUNED by a reputable LsX tuner! You'll be at around ~420

so much better cams out there. go to a pro sit down and talk and get a custom grind with your goals (wether numbers or actual results) and driveability expectations

I noticed the ls7 cam had a better torque curve then the stock ls3 which drops at 4700rpm. The ls7 drops smoother after 5500rpm. That's what I was going for.

there are custom grinds out there that will yeild just as good of a torque curve with higher numbers. i would recomend doing the research now instead of after you go through the trouble of a full cam swap and then want to redo it
