FAQ:

Q: Who makes the best camshafts for the LS engine?

A: Get more power from your GM LS engine with a performance camshaft or cam kit from COMP Cams®, the world’s top manufacturer of performance camshafts. We didn’t get the reputation of being “the world’s best” on accident or by replicating someone else’s cam designs.

Q: What is the difference between LS7 and comp camshaft?

A: The factory LS7 cam has fairly similar duration numbers to the COMP Cams camshaft. The COMP cam offers a little more duration and lift but the real reason it works better is — as you’ve probably guessed — is because of the LSA. Factory camshafts must always idle as smooth as possible.

Q: How much power does a cam swap add to an LS?

A: Run on the dyno with the new COMP Cam, 5.3L produced 467 hp at 6,600 rpm and 418 hp at 4,900 rpm. We all know a cam swap is the first modification every LS owner should perform to an LS, but just how much is a swap really worth? To find out, we plopped a junkyard 5.3L up on the dyno and ran a test.

Q: Which is better LS3 or LM7 Cam?

A: Equipped with the stock LM7 cam, the 5.3L produced 353 hp and 384 lb-ft of torque. After installation of the LS3 cam, the peak numbers jumped to 405 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque. The LS3 cam offered power gains above 4,300 rpm, but the milder LM7 cam offered more low-speed torque. Tested on this 5.3L, the LS3 cam was 50 hp better than the LM7 cam.
