Default Cheatr2 Cam questions

Hey guys, new to the board, so first wanna say howdy

I drive an '06 GTO, and have been researching the CheatR cam from TR quite a bit on here. It seems to fit perfectly with what I have in mind for the car at the moment (may add shorty headers later), and I was curious if anyone here has used the CheatR2 cam for the LS2's?

I've read alot on the CheatR "1" version, so am curious to know how the "2" would perform on an otherwise stock LS2. I'd like to have more low-end torque, and have read that the CheatR cam is more top-end oriented, so I know I might have to go custom grind, but just thought I'd ask you experts first!

Thanks in advance, and it's good to be part of the community!

CheaTR2 is an even more agressively lobed cam than the original CheaTR. The higher compression of the LS2 will help with low end torque. If you want more bottom end and midrange, talk to Thunder (or Patrick G) about grinding a CheaTR2 with 115 LSA and 114 ICL.

Thanks, Ragtop. Will follow your advice and talk to the TR guys!
