The LS2's came with the LS6 springs on solid valves. Replace them with a good set of .600" capable springs.

Stronger Push Rods would help as well.

A torque converter would also be a good idea for that cam.

Also, check in the Trailblazer section for other drive-line upgrades you may need.

There's also retuning the ECM, especially if you pair the cam & spring upgrade with a set of headers and/or a cold air kit.

^^He hit pretty much all the points. You'll want a quality torque converter for that one, springs, pushrods, bolt/gasket kit, tune, and of course all the bolt-ons to make this one work well! It's a nice camshaft for that 6.0L and with the proper supporting mods and tune will not kill your torque or make that heavy truck unbearable to drive!

Let us know if we can help!

Headers & a converter would be a real good idea, 32-3600 depending if you want to tow etc. I have something in that neighborhood you, will need springs and pushrods too.

I like my 3200 one of the best mods I did. I did the converter before the cam.
