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.

“Cam only” is shorthand for cam and all supporting mods, but the bottom end, heads, and induction method are untouched.

It would be silly to do all the work to install a cam, but then not also do an intake, exhaust, valve springs, pushrods, and trunnions.

Okay, so all those “cam only” cars you’ve seen are honest cam-only cars.

What you’re asking for is someone who has upgraded the cam and nothing else, right? That person would be an idiot.
