Perfect Cam you ordered for your Gen 5. You should have great driveability.

I order my Cam from Comp Cams.... It will be a Custom made cam with around 238/242 duration. My Cam is going in an LS2. It will be a Stroker motor with 404 c.i. so i think i will be alright. My Camaro will be driven on weekends only & to the track.
