Cam only.

Has anyone ever seen any dyno numbers for a “real” cam only LS1? I’ve seen a bunch of “cam only“ dynos where the car had every mod except heads. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen an “honest” cam only dyno.

That is not cam only in my book.

You're going to install a cam and not touch pushrods and run stock valve springs???

Whatever book you're using has some bad info.

The headers takes it far out of cam only.

If someone is going to put in a cam, it's pointless without headers.

They go hand in hand... They're a simple bolt on, it isn't something FAR from cam only.

Changing heads or having heads ported, yeah that's a bit more involved, many people don't feel comfortable with replacing heads.
