Cam Question in 5.3l
I purchased a 5.3l block for my swap into an 82 camaro and the guy "threw" in a ls1 cam for free. My question is how will this cam work in 5.3l and is it worth putting in or getting a custom grind. I've looked up the part and grind # to no avail. I know a little bit about cams but not that much and I find it weird the intake and exhaust are the same? and what kind of hp gains could I expect over a stock cam or another custom grind?
Specs: part# 54-000-11 grind#: 13117r/13117r
gross valve lift: I-.598 E-.598
Duration @ .006 Tappet lift 275 275
duration @ .050 I- 226 E-226
lobe lift I-.3520 E-same
Lobe separation 113.0
