Ls6 to ls2 cam sensor. I keep getting cam sensor high freq. code on my car now since I did the swap. Does the ls2 have a higher frequency then the ls6. This is a ls2 402 short block.

The one on the left is the original LS2 sprocket (same as the one in my LS2 402), the other one is the LS7 sprocket is also used on later LS2's when they switched the crank reluctor wheel and PCM. Either one should work, but if I had my pick I would choose the LS7 version.
linn.35 - Did you swap the cam sensor wires?

Sorry to go off topic here but I have a question for Jason. Does Katech have anything or know of any company that sells a throttle cable bracket conversion kit to convert from Flybywire for a cable operated TPIS throttlebody on a LS7 intake?

Well here is the problem. I had a friends shop do the short block swap. They ordered me a 402 from SDPC and everything needed for it. I cant get ahold of them to find out which cam gear they ordered. I know it was an upgraded one though. I will have to call SDPC tomorrow and find out since they are not open today. And i know that there was a new ls2 sensored installed. What issues could I be looking at from this code or what problems.

No that is the cam side that you see in that pic. Also do the cam sensor wire colors match on do they not match. Do I need to swap the colors. Also are people using the factory cam sensor extender wire or do we plug it directly into the sensor itself. Here is what I am confused about. http://www.cajundude.com/engineswap6.htm
This paragragh...
Now, if putting in an LS2, you will need to extend the cam sensor wires. On the LS1, the sensor is located behind the intake. The LS2 block comes with the sensor mounted on the front. It is the one with the black bracket. NOTE that the outer wires are reversed between the LS1 and the LS2. In other words, the colors will not match up so you need to swap these. I just bought the right color wire, as I did for the knock sensors, and cut the plug off of the car and put away in a drawer. I then cut the new plug off of the front location and extended the wires to it. That way there is no mistake on mixing the wires up. Solder and heat shrink all of your connections. I also ran the wires in a 1/4" taped up wire loom. If you will be reusing (you don't have to) the black bracket on the front, replace it now. I separated the metal a little to allow the loom to fit inside the channel. Once the engine was in and it was plugged in I wrapped tape around to trap the loom. You can see the plug and black bracket next to the balancer in this pic.

You're getting ahead of yourself with the wiring. First, what does the other side of the cam gear look like?
