waste of time IMO
if your going to cam it, then cam it. Put a performance cam in not a factory cam, make it worth the time. If your on a budget pick up a used cam from the classifieds
know what im sayin?

yeah i know what ur talkin about , BUT if i get a big cam (220+) im gonna need a stall , then im gonna need to get my tranny built , right now my truck is my DD and work truck so its not a good idea for me to go with a big cam and stall right now , and if its gives me decent power if rather have that right now and have my truck run mid-low 13's

run the very popular comp 212/218 with the PAC springs and should be just fine with stock stall and will net better gains for sure.

Stock '05 LS2 12574519 204/211 at .05 0.520/0.520* lift 116 lsa
ground on the same lobes as the 02 LS6 cam

you wont be happy after installing that I dont think, you wont gain much from it

520 lift , ? a lot of ppl told me it was more like a 204/218 550/551 on a 116 sumtin like that

Well they told you wrong LOL Thats the specs on it, but I actually think the lift is 525, but either way it isn't what they told you... save your self some time and spend a lil more money and get a good nice cam for the truck. BTW your gona need a trans or at least a shift kit in there if you want it to last. I have seen your vids..

Do it right the first time...

Get you a 212 218 high lift which is a .558 .562 on a 114lsa
That is a great cam with a stock converter IMO
We can make it have alittle bity chop or idle smooth like stock

i dont know , .... im gettin it for free and i can get it installed really cheap too , i might put it in for the summer , then when i get serious cash ill get a 220+ with a 3,200 stall and a built tranny , that was my plan but i recentley contracted that italian walking disease ..... funds-a-low ....
