The reason why they are so popular is they are proven performers on supercharged vehicles. Lingenfelter, the man, used to do a lot of GM work testing and designing packages for power. I think they still offer some of the packages for the LSx motor on the site. I'm not a big fan of off the shelf cams, but if I were ever to buy one again for a supercharged application it would probably be one of theirs. Especially after my experiences with the Comp Cam help line - you can get a diff recommendation every day of the week. Personally, I would rather it be custom to my vehicle, what I need it for, how I plan to drive it, and suited for my goals.

It's just not enough 6.0 dyno info. Seems like going 6.0 is a common upgrade around here these days.

The key number is overlap. You want that to be a small number - preferably zero or negative - in order to perform well under boost.

There are a few advocates on this site who really push the LPE products. I've talked to custom cam guys who question the wide splits in duration with LPE cams, saying they're not necessary to keep overlap low. That doesn't mean LPE cams are bad, it just means there is more than one way to skin a cat.

Regarding the GT2-3 in a 5.3 stock head Radix application. According to my software this configuration is where this cam really seems to shine.

If I still have the model built I can post up the dyno graph if you wanted

What about a 6.0 radix combo, can you run it for the GT7.

I have a Radix 6.0 built, but I'd need the info from a GT7 cam card
