what will this cam do in a 6.2
thats a very small cam. i would expect anywhere from 360-400rwph depending on the heads intake setup. the lsa is too wide for a N/A application IMO i'd like to see you go with something more in the 23x/24x range with .580+ lift on a 110-112LSA. but that's just one mans opinion. Good Luck with the build

I had a 231 239 .617 .624 113 Comp Cam fitted to the LS3 when it was dropped into our A4 Monaro.
This was a very torquie cam for a daily driver.
Now that I don't drive it very often I wish I had gone a bit bigger

IMO, don't waste your money on 1.85 rockers. Instead put that money towards upgrading the factory rockers with the Comp Cam trunion upgrade. I'd also probably go a little smaller on the cam size.

If you're going to go that small, might as well save some money and get an LS9 cam.
Otherwise if you're getting a full aftermarket cam for ~$700 then get something a little bigger.

IMO, you really don't need that much lift or that wide of a split, and unless you heads will clearly benefit from the additional lift and create a noticeable power gain then stick with the lower lift cams. Furthermore you'll also really want to consider roller rockers if you go with the high lift LPE gt9 cam.
IMO, I'd just upgrade the stock rockers and stick with a lower lift cam*, for a more reliable valvetrain that will most likely make just as much if not more hp/trq.
* IMO, lower lift is under .615" lift.
