I almost ordered that cam. I called TR and they said a stock bottom end with stock sized vales would not have clearance issues. But I would call to reconfirm this. I think the recommend Comp 918s for that cam. So your gonna need good springs.

isnt the cam position sensor in a different position on the LS2 which would mean you can't use an LS2 cam core for an LS1 motor. But if they would grind the LS2 cam specs onto an LS1 cam core it should work.

I agree - LS2 cam will not work in LS1 motor.
