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.Originally posted by white1@Apr 23 2005, 07:32 PM

Let's face it, the red hair... makes 'em wet.
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

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