Announcing a new LS-series "How-to" publication:
Cool! I'm glad these are starting to show up. The designer did an excellent job IMO, she even sent me the "inside" preview picture I used in the first post. It is amazing it looks like a book, for well over a year all I known it as was a 60K word text document. I was touring Wiseco, Callies, and Harland sharp around this time last year actually.
In a few weeks (after you have spent some time with the manual) can you do me a favor and write a little review or rating on amazon.com?
I'll update my threads when it is available on amazon anyway, hopefully they keep the intro pricing.

I'll be ordering one. I have most of the books that have come out about LSx stuff. I have an older one that has Rob Raimer as a contributing source (interesting). I like these sorts of things and enjoy reading them. I'd kind of like to get my foot into automotive writing, but don't think I have enough direct knowledge.

Well I think Amazon ran out for a few days (showing Oct 3rd as next shipment date). A couple friends received theirs from Amazon this week so I'll assume all backorders were filled first. Anyone going to the LSX Race in a few weeks? I might bring a few copies if I can get them in time, I'll do my best to get Amazon pricing on a handful of them.

Mostly just a lurker over here but I saw this and ordered my copy yesterday from Amazon. Hopefully this will help me if I decide to tackle a cam swap. Dont know if I could do this by myself. I already did my longtubes and blower. Maybe I will grow some and tear into the motor.

If you did longtubes and a blower, the cam swap shouldn't be too much harder to tackle. Depending on the car, the valvesprings could be the hardest part, or the easiest! Once you get interfering parts removed and can get good access to the engine itself its not too bad to work on, even in the car. I have some random pictures I can upload someday of all the installs on an F-body.

I would recommend setting up a shop to discharge and recharge your A/C, that way you can just unbolt the lines and remove the A/C condensor out of the way completely for the camshaft itself. I've moved them enough before without recovering the refrigerant but it is a little harder to work around.
The LS2 is actually not too bad of a camshaft for boost - you also don't want or need to go too crazy with blower cams, but something in the mid 22x's for intake duration and lower 23x's for exhaust should do well on a wide LSA (115ish) for something that you see a good gain from, many sponsors can get you into an ideal camshaft for what you want. You may notice a drop in boost PSI, but this is due to less restriction in the engine, and more air into the cylinders - if you want more boost, pulley swap time.
