If you would get a gen 4 there are a few companies out there that sell a converter box so your computer can read the 58 tooth wheel, and you can rewire and lengthen the cam sensor pigtail to run to the front of the block, but not sure what would need to happen with the knock sensors....it will save you time and a couple hundred dollars to go gen 3 with the 24 tooth ring
Thanks for the info bro. I might just go ahead and do the 6liter block.

Here is a ported 243 head package I put together for a vette who frequents VIR and Road Atlanta. He loves the midrange/under the curve power and we where exceptionally happy with the power even thru a stock catback. He is coming back soon for some mods. Since it is a 6.0L LS2 vette it is pratically your exact same setup.

Even though the cam sounds great it is actually quite well behaved. It would drive much nicer than the cam you have now. Mid range power was crazy!
Very nice. Sounds good, sorta sounds like my ms3 now haha

It's technically "smaller" too! The smallest cam to do the job is almost always the winner!
