BUT the tu2 spools faster and makes more boost on the 2 step than the ls6 did

I believe it. I also ran the LS6 and it was the softest of the bunch down low, but ran fair up top. The tighter LSA's seem to run the best for me.

i did see that the efficiency of the newer turbos requires less lsa.

i think we can agree that the hotcam is not a good turbo cam at least?

i know this thread hasnt been touched in a while, but i just bought a tu2 cam for my twin 62mm turbo lq4 and i hope i didnt go to big of a cam. looking for 700+whp. i also will be running trans brake and 2 step like buick lsx so thats why i chose it. hope it doesnt perform horrible, maybe the tu1 could have been a better choice?

I can't see the 1 being better for that set up. I have the same tu2 cam. You won't be disappointed
