it depends on if the cam is a single bolt cam/sproket or not. if it is a 3 bolt cam, then you would use the 58x LS2 cam sproket...which is also the 3 bolt LS7 cam sprocket as well....the only real difference is they made 2 LS2 versions. The 24X and the 58X....you just need to make sure you get the right one for the reluctor wheel that you are running and the right amount of bolts hoes for the cam

^^^--be very careful that you get the one with the appropriate amount of reluctors. i've found that even gm's parts computers are wrong when it comes to this, so don't just assume that they'll sell you the right one if you tell them your make/model/vin. one version is just a single reluctor that is half the circumference of the gear, while the other version has 4 reluctors of varying lengths.

What Reluctor wheel should I use for a L92 motor that I am putting in my camaro. I am going to be leaving it 58x and swapping in a 3 bolt cam. Then using the Linginfelter Conversion Box to change it from 58x to 24x and 4x to 1x. What is the part number for the correct 3 bolt 4x cam gear?
