As posted on corvetteforum, I wanted to know what you guys think as well. Here's my situation: My car(08 C6) is in the shop apart as we were waiting on my cam kit from Vengeance Racing. Upon arrival, the cam we got was not the Stage III ls3 cam that I ordered(231/243 617/624 115+3), but their "Kaotik" cam. Specs are 235/243 620/623 113LSA. 1st question is... will this fit? Stock heads and oem head gaskets are being used. Second is should I send this one back and wait for the one I ordered, or install this one as it's here and the car is apart? What would be the difference between the two? Thanks !

Hm, as as for it fitting, your original cam was similar in lift so don't see a problem there. I'm pretty sure you'll get a little more lope. I think.....your powerband will be a little later (i.e. +3 is gone). But thats all I could tell you.

I would send it back because it's not what you paid for. It is kinda close on specs but if your were really set with the 115+3 i would go with that.

I apologize for the confusion sir! We have found that the “original” Stage III Camshaft had too much of a split for that high of a duration in an LS3. After much trial and error we developed the Kaotik (new stage III) cam. The only difference between it and the original stage 3 is 4 degrees more on the intake duration and it’s cut on a 113+2 vs. a 115+3 We found that it retains the same drivability while making MORE power across the board plus a much better sound from idle to rev! It averages 480rwhp with headers and tune NA, and 700+ with a blower! Works amazingly in both applications. I will be updating the online store to keep from future instances like this. If you want the original stage III camshaft instead, we can make this happen. Again Kevin, I apologize for the mishap and hope that we can resolve this issue swiftly! Let me know how you wish to handle this sir. Thanks!

Thanks to the guys at Vengeance Racing for sorting out the mixup. Their Kaotik cam is their new "stage3" cam. When I ordered my kit they were just introducing it to the online store. The Kaotik cam went it earlier today and I just need to install the heads and related parts tomorrow. Will post numbers and sound clips later.
