Cam is a little on the smaller side IMO. I have an LS2 also and went alot bigger. Mine isnt installed yet, so no #s. You should be around 430 440whp with stock heads. Thats my guess. Do you have stock gears? If you go with 4.10s the LS2 really responds! And you can go alot bigger with the cam. because with the T56 in 6th gear you will be at 2200rpm at 70-75 mph so no surging or bucking
Good luck keep us posted

Thats a decent sized cam IMO that should make good power under the curve and throughout the powerband. Should make good usable power as opposed to just the peak hp that you would get out of a bigger cam.

A4 trans you want 373 gears. The gears will allow you to go with a bigger cam too. it will keep the rpms up to keep it from surging and bucking. Your in
Good shape bro. Get the gears done in feels like 50 to 80 whp upgrade.
If the cam isnt installed go bigger IMO. The cam you have will be easy to sell.
That thing is gonna rock and roll!
Good luck
