Ls7/gen 4

Even that won't do it, stock auto's idle at 550 and they idle silky smooth....

You just need a small cam, say 244/248 @ .050 on 111 LSA with around .630 lift...... That should make the idle dance a bit!!!

There is some good aftermarket dry sump setups for the LS series motors. This setup from ARE is what the Motec Daytona Coupes run. Probably a better system than the LS7 setup.

ARE Dry Sump

They can be setup with an external scavenge pump with 1,2,3 or 4 scavenging feeds/stages to pull oil from the sump and one pressure pump to feed the motor.

The Daytonas use the external scavenge pump and retain the stock factory gyrotor pressure pump. This is probably the ideal setup for the street/track.

I guess the other alternative is to pull one spark plug lead off. Probably still make more power than the Ford motor too.

That cams a monster and just a bit bigger than the one I bought.

Mine runs 239/242 @ 0.050 on 111 LSA with 0.649" intake and 0.609" exhaust lift. I can't wait to bolt it in and get it running but I want to combine it with a set of CNC ported heads when I fit it.

Alffie,

In NSW we have to get a pink slip every year. Except the first three if a new car.

I personally do not class cam and head changes as serious mods, because they are difficult to detect from the outside.

Cheers,
