Even with flat tappet cams it's all about when they were broken in, if you get a used one with used lifters...just make sure they came off the specific lobe.Quote:

Hyd rollers there isn't a thing to worry about.
C5 vs Camaro/TA vs Truck cams are all differet
I had a Lingenfelter C5 cam in my F-body LS1. Dimensionally, all the cams are the same for the LSx motors other than lobe size, lift, duration and all that.
Had a stock LS1 crate motor cam in mine for awhile and even pulled my boat with it w/ no problems if that helps...Zed
they are all different cams, yet interchangable..... if you buy a cam out of a ls1... it will fit in a 5.3 ... in case thats what you were wonderin :DQuote:

I thought they would all interchange. I got a killer :devil: deal on a 99 vette cam 199/207 472/479 117 lsa. Now I am hearing its not worth the time for the swap :whack: cause i really would prefer a lower power band. :cry: Oh well maybe another deal of a lifetime will roll around :help: Anyway thanks for the help everyone :hshake:
