I just purchased the stage 3 with aggressive lobes. Love the specs! Still waiting on my 243s to come back from AI. Should make a nice head/cam combo on my lq4. Besides I have a silverado and need all the torque I can get lol.

I can't wait to see it either! You got a steal of a deal on that cam too! Should be an awesome set-up!

The TorqueMAX stage 2 is a great ALL AROUND cam for ANY car really. It works its best in street driven 6 spd. cars though.

Sounds awesome! Sometimes I wish I would've went with the v2 but I only have a 3600 stall at the moment.

Did you order the LS1 Stage 2 or the LS2 Stage 2?

Sounds awesome!!! Do you do your own tuning? I ask because I see the HPT sticker on the hatch glass.

They all work awesome with nitrous. If you're doing nothing but spraying nitrous all the time at the track or on the street I like to see a cut-off of around 200-250hp worth of jet for my N/A cams that aren't designed for heavy nitrous use. If you're wanting the car to run well on motor and on nitrous, but still want to spray a 200-250 shot, the Stage 3 camshafts are perfect. The LS1 Stage 3 TorqueMAX being what I would consider optimal for no less than 200-250 worth of nitrous jet.

Anything thing less than 200-250 worth of nitrous jet all of my N/A cams will work fine with.

Your cam is definitely not what I would consider a centrifugal blower camshaft at all. That doesn't mean you can't run your cam with a centrifugal though. Only one way to find out for sure!

It will be very interesting to see how fast you are able to go with this set-up.
