Default 243 heads and LS2 cam?

I have been looking for a while for a cam, as I was planning to keep my car a cam only car. I found that great deal on the LS2 cam that is floating around, but I just noticed the deal on the 243 heads also.

What I'm wondering is, will the LS2 cam work well with 243 heads?

Thanks
-Scott

I would think so considering GM uses that combination from the factory on an LS2.

yes, 243 heads and the LS2 cam is the pretty much the same set up (power wise) as the '01 Z06

We have the 243's as cast for $385.00 per pair bare. We can assembled these with the LS2 valvetrain for an additional $45.00. They would be ready to bolt on and use with your LS2 cam.
