I really like Vinci/crane cams, problem is they are so rare you can't ****** them up for cheap used.

So the ligenfelter gt2-3 (207/220 571/578 118.5) and the vinci trucker (216/224 551/551 115) seem to be popular choices. I suppose you couldnt really go wrong with either, right?

I don't think you would be able to tell SOTP wise.. Dyno possible..The gt2-3 will idle like stock, the trucker will have a lil less stock sound to it. Alot of guys have run these cams, they are a proven FI cam with out a doubt... Take a pick on one...

If you plan on running the cam in a N/A application and with a supercharger the GT2-3, seems like it would behave the same as the LS6 cam. I just installed a GT7 with my 112 and I am happy with the results. Enters boost a little earlier and picked up another .5-1 lbs of boost without any other changes.
