What do u guys think of this grind?

It would be going in my LS2.. with supporting mods... (LT Headers, exhaust, intake, p/p tb, and gears)

I am kinda feeling the TR tRex cam over this with the comp kit upgrade... Much better price and the cam has been proven! what do you guys think?

Also do any of you know when TR will be having another 10% off day?

What do you guys think about a trex in a LS2?

Compare the specs. Not saying its better....still unproven due to it being new. Should make KILLER power in a LS2 w/ a FAST intake

overpriced, but if its a Ed curtis cam, his cams are i think 450, so why 900 for the valvetrain parts?

Spec's are close to what I'm considering for my 402 iron block/AFR headed/fast intake equipped motor.

Maybe a little bigger

That price will sure to come down from other vendors selling the kit. Especially if a GP were involved

I think New Era will be selling this kit shortly and at least one other vendor.

There is a dyno graph of an LS2 C5 on ls1gto.com. Seems to make pretty decent power for the mods.

Do you just want the comp name as far as valvetrain parts? You could come down considerably if you went with a gold kit, which IMO is a great spring.
