[QUOTE="Jman20427, post: 3145313, member: 11235"] If GM is thinking about making a cam that can rev in the 7500-8000 RPM Range, that is Very Very Very Questionable. The LS7 will not(IMO) with stand a 8k redline reliably with a cam swap and nothing else based on Maximum and Average Pistons velocities. Average Pistons Velocity is stroke x RPM/6. So a 4.0 stroke LS7 at 8000 would have an average speed of of 5333 ft/min. That it higher then a F1 engine (around 5200)! And you would need a very very stable valvetrain to keep those numbers, which the Z06 does not. Close, but not quite. Not to mention it is going to take some serious heads to flow at that range, which even with the heads on it now, its iffy. Not to mention some serious lightweight pistons. It can be done, but in the end, to have that car redline at 8k is going to take alot of money for it to be doable, alot more then just a cam swap. [/QUOTE]
