while i am very hopeful that this is true, i'm hesitant to accept with open arms... the Holden uses a slightly different version of the LS2, without cylinder deactivation. and they have the manual tranny already.
but again, i am hopeful. just tuning for premium should make a nice jump too

Same engine as the G8, so its a pretty good comparison. And it seems to be the norm over there when all this is done.

Here's a cam swap from Australia. The cam gear is a 1 bolt, this change was added when GM came out with cylinder deactivation and applied to all their V8 engines. A 3 bolt gear would need to be installed to run an aftermarket LS1 cam, all are 3 bolt currently. All LSX cars made from 10/06 and newer have the 1 bolt design.
It also looks like the crank pulley is from the Corvette.
