If that is in your price range, just look for a used grand sport, and have lower insurance and better ride quality. The LS3 isn't so bad anyways.

nice, i know that a full frame is a better built camera for sure with generally better processors. Full Frame features have to be backed up with damn good lenses though to make sure that their disadvantages don't start to kill the picture.

One other things to think about, while FF cameras do have Higher pixel count per picture, pixel density plague some FF. Overall, Lenses are among the gods of the camera world as you can take a 400mm lens on a 5D and cropping to the same field of view as a 7D.

Tyler do eeet!

The ls3 is nice but doesnt compare to an ls7. I so wish i could afford a c6 z06 but im happy with the old school for now haha

I should be ordering a cam and valve springs soon along with some laughing gas

I'll ask some J Body guys what they think since they have the most experience with Comp Cams. That sounds really weird coming from them though being that they advertise a set of blower and turbo cams lol

In just browsing various forums I've seen boosted guys using their stage 3 NA cams, stage 2 NA cams and blower cams...hell there is even an Ion guy running their blower cams that's now turbo lol

:edit: I wonder where I could locate the specs on my stock cams?

Yeah I only shoot with FX (FF) lenses to begin with. (Been shooting 35mm & Medium format since I have been 12, and Digital since 2004.) Also own my own studio, and work with a few production companies here in Tucson.

I decided against the D800 after playing with a D800E yesterday, and it was having "the left side autofocus problem." I dont have time to have to send a 3300.00 camera to get bench flashed to fix the issue. So I just ordered a 17-40 f/4 L, 50mm 1.4, 70-200 f/4 L IS and will be getting a 5D MK iii tomorrow. Just waiting for the paypal funds to clear from the ebay sale.

If you are gonna go FI, the LS3 is better because of the thicker walls

If you are gonna go all motor, the LS7 obviously

Your exhaust cam is the same as mine except timing.yours is 103 as mines 108

These are 2007 L61 cams but yours shouldn't be too far off on the exhaust side.
INTAKE________Cam______Valve_______Valve___Duratio n____Valve area

After reading a chart I found.The LSJ cam is close to mine.I wonder if I can run it as duration is shorter along with timing is different too.hmmm.

If I'm looking at this right,the timing of the cam is different,thus opening the exhaust valves later(decreasing overlap)yet the duration is shorter so wouldn't have interference issues.Some one correct me if not right but looks like I could run a LSJ exhaust cam?

Drewbroo, When I come to Arizona, you and I should meetup. Maybe hit the track up or something.

I found this PDF that says the 07+ L61 exhaust cam and the LSJ exhaust cam are interchangeable. It looks to me like you'd be going to a less aggressive cam though...
http://www.crateenginedepot.com/PDFS/ECS.pdf

After some reading I was able to confirm that the Comp blower cams have an overlap of 31 degrees

I can't find the advertised duration for stock L61 cams or the LSA so I don't know how to compare the overlap between the two

Honestly though I'm probably just gonna get the cams anyway

1LowLS

Why so you can have the sound and less power?

1LowLS

In my case 8 degrees of over lap. All your doing is increasing it. Less performance.

IonNinja

How did you calculate overlap with the above numbers? The formula I have is

(advertised intake duration + advertised exhaust duration)/4-LSA * 2

I don't think I'll lose power with those cams necessarily but more so it will move my powerband upwards. It seems tricky to get the perfect combo because increased overlap will decrease my idle quality and improve top end but then at the same time I may ” bleed off some boost” due to it. BUT then at the same time the motor will be more volumetric efficient so maybe that will outweigh any negatives of the overlap atleast in comparison to the stock cams?

I don't know there is alot of **** involved and its alot to take in but I'm basing my decision basically on what's already been tried with success. Worst case scenario I could pick up some adjustable cam gears

1LowLS

If you say so. The things people do for noise. Especially when a comp cam employee confirms the info but hey your car.lol
