LPE GT2-3 Installation
My engine & parts are being dropped at the shop on Monday. I'm having a LPE GT2-3 installed in an LS1 with 9.0:1 pistons (when 64cc chambers used), 6.0L '317' heads (with 72cc chambers) and a Radix with a 3" pulley (9 lbs boost).
Question: Should the cam be installed straight up or with some advance? +2? +4?

My build goal is for a 1500-6500 band...and although I have not been able to find any info on the range of this cam, the duration appears to put it where I am aimming, correct?

I'm already being warned about my tranny...even with the bolt-ons, folks in the know don't think it will last long!
Goober: I see in your sig that you're running the Comp R lifters and 7.4 push rods but nothing about adjustable rockers...how are those things working out for you? I have been reading the posts about problems with achieving correct preload without the adjustable rockers...

My car N/A, with the GT2-3 and bolt ons made 368hp and 359tq. I wan to say the peak HP came at close to 6K and the tq peaked at like the 4.5k.
