Nice for drags with gears and a loose converter - but too much for a DD.
Too much cam for me. But I don't work on LS motors with big ports -
I'm an old school Gen I guy the real SBC
I guess the FI big lobe separation makes it driveable.
Enjoy your car!
You need to drive an LS car like this I have had a SBC like you talk about there is no comparison. I am still pulling down over 20 mpg on the highway.
I also had two LT1 cars and an L98 Vette.
What you are saying about the LS is just not true. You can't even tell it is in there until you hit the go pedal. Well you get some chop at idle that is to be expected.
You are thinking to much cam for a SBC. This cam is perfect for my stall and daily driving. Most of the 6.0 guys are running the stage two or better.
You can't even compare SBC heads with LS3 heads and what cams are good for what as the tuning possibilities VS a traditional SBC are out of this world.
They are not even in the same ball park.
This is the stage 2 cam Specs: 227/234 .614"/.576" 113+2 Most guys daily drive this.
I am not trying to be an A** but they are just way to different to compare.
