Both the LS6 and LPE GT2-3 cams are perfectly fine, however if you're going to the trouble of doing a cam swap I'd have a custom reverse split cam ground. CamMotion or Comp can grind whatever cam you like.

You can pick up a used LS6 cam very cheap as I did with my LPE cam

what cam would give best results in a 402ci turbo motor? does single or twin turbo make a difference?

that depends on your set-up and purpose of the motor.

cars that see a lot of street miles or even daily driven, i would say stay with a smaller cam. you don't need huge cams to make great power with forced induction.

single and twins, there is a big difference, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms. don't hijack the guy's thread.

speed inc's 225/225 113lsa "boost cam" ... that cam powers a few 800+ rwhp 6spd cars.

other way around for a fi engine the air will be pressurized at the intake valve going in turbocam helps get the flow out on time reverse split looks like this int/exh 224/ 220 @.050 .585'' .560'' 113-115ls

I know tons of people with CamMotion turbo cams. If any of them had issues I wouldn't have recently ordered one. Sure the failure you're thinking of wasn't installer related?
