Work? Phyisically fit? Probably,
It will drive like crap in a stock ls2!
+6-8* exhaust split much more ideal.
15* Split would work well with 300 shot N2O.

+15* exhaust for the same combo a completely different
animal, probably very soggy low and mid-range, bleeding
of so much cylinder pressure until you get to 4000-4500
RPM. If it were me I would return/exchange if possible,
sell if not, its a lot of time and expense to put in a cam
so far from optimal.
My .02, worth what you paid for it lol.
good luck.

I agree with Navyblue... cam would be okay if you was running LS3 heads and wanted max effort out the combo.

+8* exhaust split is ideal for med/large cam with a stock LS2 head/engine IMO.

On a side note it is surprisingly driveable for a manual.
Prior to the cam the best the car had run at the track was 13.9.
After the cam it went 12.53 on street tyres and 12.20 on drag radials.

Agreed it's not the best cam available, but it suited the owners requirement to "sound tough".

OPs Cam is large for stock LS3.
