You mean who grinds the cam or the lobe separation of the cam?

207/220 .578/.581 118.5 is the LPE GT2-3 specs.

A buddy of mine installed one recently and you can't tell it's in there. No valvetrain noise or lope. I'm thinking it's an XE lobe but I don't know for sure. Hoping someone knows.

I think (not sure) that they have proprietary lobe design on Comp blanks

Thanks JRP for the cam card info. What my buddy and I are trying to do is get a custom cam built on the same mild (quiet) lobes that the GT2-3 is ground on. Something like a 220/220 or 224/220 with a wide LSA. I know there's "stealth" cams out there but with the exception of the LS6 and GT2-3 they all have some discernible valvetrain noise to them. Stealth to me means you can't hear anything but a stock cam sound. If we could get a 220/220 cam I believe it would be good for anther 10 HP and the 224/220 would be close to 15 HP. I'm leaning towards he 224/220 because he already has headers and with the LS6 intake the reverse split would help overcome the restricition on the intake side. I don't think the added duration on the intake side would add any lope since lope's usually a product of the exhaust duration. The wide LSA keeps lope at bay aswell.

What do you guys think?

I would like to see some comparos of this cam vs the 02'LS6 cam, and some before and after numbers vs stock.

I hashed the Stealth II in multiple combos and it is a good cam. As for valvetrain noise, I just proved in my new 370 combo that XE-R lobes do not mean noise if the lifter preload is set properly. I have a .595/.598 lift and 0 valvetrain noise. Trick is lifter preload and proper choice of p-rod length.
BTW I was able to run 11.2 consistant with that cam on H/C setup.
It is a high rever (6800 shifts) and with proper compression a heck of a performer.
