Flareside, we've used this combo wit LS1, LS6 and aftermarket 2.02/1.57 valves and not seen any issues with valve float, you are correct that the shorter LS1 valve decreases the amount of lift the springs can handle, but it's not an issue in this combination.
This is a tried and true setup we've used fopr several years. Car Craft magazine did a dyno test with this same setup on a 5.3 with very similar results.

i know alot of people who look for sleeper cams but are scared of the gt2-3 because they see the high lift and think its agressive.

Thanks for having faith in me!
To answer jrp's question, duration at .006" tappet lift is 255/281
I'll even go as far as to say if anybody buys this cam, and feels that it's too aggressive, I'll buy it back myself!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a super mild cam, and if a sleeper cam is what you want, this is the cam for you.
Hope this helps,
Ed

Wow, this topic should have been resolved in 4 or 5 posts! Does the selection of a mild cam for a street car really deserve 44 posts? D3IMOS, Ed and i gave you the answer on the first page of this thread.

Ed, thanks for the info. I have a set of your GM/LPE CNC heads here with those springs, and they have a tag on them that says .570 max lift, so I'd guess this cam is near the limit of what they'll tolerate. I'm actually going to run this cam with AFR heads.

Sorry for to bring up an old thread.
Questions for Ed Potter,
I need to know the difference in the 2 LPE cams
GT2-3 V's GT7
How does the GT7 idle compared to the GT-2 ? (that is like a stock cam)
What power does the GT7 make ?
cheers
