you can get it from summit, but they might not know the part #. for that you might have to call comp cams directly. call there tech support line. it is LS1 specific. not universal.

Degreeing a Cam is the right thing to do but probly 95% of the people don't.Thats why Thunder/TSP ect have the Cams ground for dot-dot install. I've checked many Cams that we special order and the worse was off 2 degree's which made no power difference.

mostly cause it will shift the power curve in the rpm band lower. as in same peak HP, but now maybe 200rpm lower peak point. in theory.

I say yes also. After my cam install my torque sucked. Went from 350 to 356. This was supposed to be a torquey cam so I knew something was wrong. Got it degreed and retuned and tq went to 382.
