2007 ls2 questions/cam help i have a 32k mile ls2 from a tb ss going into my 67 camaro. does this motor have the variable cam timing setup in it?
i have called 4 different manufacturers for a cam suggestion and half of them arent asking much about my setup...that worries me.
car is 3150 with driver,richmond 5 speed,3.73 gears,ported vic jr carb'd intake, 1 7/8 headers.
i am not looking to flycut the pistons or pull the heads off.
thanks in advance for any help

That is a little big. I had the megadeath in my GTO and was always told that this is the largest cam without fly cutting the LS2 can take.
Specs on the Megadeath are: 244/242 612/610 112 lsa

thats about what everyone else is telling me...
lg told me i'd have to flycut for a g5x4 (which sucks, because i can get a deal on one) and everyone else seems to say very low 600's is the end of the line without cutting pistons...
i really dont want to take the heads off the motor. at all.
i want something that makes alot of power everywhere...it shouldnt be hard to get this thing into the 10's at 3150 lbs with a stick and this motor in it.

Did you mention fly cutting was a no go for application ?
If not I'd run it! I had a vrx5 cam on tfs heads milled to 59cc chambers for an 11.0 to 1 compression. So if you are still stock comp then go for it! I wish I had gone with a vindicator also from vengeance after 4 weeks with the vrx5 lol.

IF you do want to have to worry about flycutting pistons then step down to the 54-459-11 or even the 54-458-11. There will not be much difference in power, and both will make peak power around 6300-6600rpm. Plus the smaller cams will be more responsive for street cruising.
