There are some cam specs in this article, none of which agree with the above:

Rebuilding the LT1

They don't list the 97, but I would suspect it is the same as the 96.

For head flow data:

Headflow Comparo

I'm pretty sure the specs I gave him are correct - the specs for the '97 cam are slightly different than '96 specs.

'96 and '97 LT1s have '561' castings which flow a few more CFM than the '93-'95 heads. Go to http://www.advancedinduction.com/ ...there are flow numbers for stock LT1 heads which are pretty representative of average LT1 head flow numbers.
