I’m refurbishing a use LS2 from a Saab 9-7, I am using a sloppy stage 2 228-230 112 cam .585 lift, It fits without needing piston notches and RHoldener it works surprisingly well in a 6.0. This motor is rated @ 390 stock, Im thinking 450 with this cam and it’s 243 heads with a fresh 3 angle valve job.
Any of the Summit or Cam Motion shelf cams are better than a SS2. The Hawk's Cheatr cam is excellent too.

I didn’t want to mention it but since you did…..yes, eBay cam, a cheap copy of an SS2, $99 cheap. I’m refurbishing the LS2, new cam, lifters, gasket set, valve job with 918 style drop in springs that use stock retainers and locks, trying not to put much in it, I want to resell it, it’s my side hustle ,.tail light guarantee.
