i think you need the gear and front cover for the ls2's to run those cams. then just extend the wires for the sensor.

So even though most of the maggy cams that work really well have over a 10* split you still went with only a 6* split?

the gt-7 121* was dead in the mid range. maybe it just wasnt a good pairing with my 4l80e. it would make good boost, but only felt really strong down low...dead mid range and then a peak before shifting.

the 114* custom felt solid all the way thru the powerband....on and off boost. dyno numbers were similar, but this one pulled harder on less boost and did not have the dead spots like the 121* so im trying something more similar to this one with some influence from the LEP maggie cam.

this is all with a stock converter on a truck thats 99% street driven.

i decided on the specs after talking with a number of people on here and in the industry.

im excited...the cam is ready now...but could not get to the shop to pick it up today after work.

I had excellent results with a single pattern 218/218 114 cam in my SSS. Doing it again, I wouldn't hesitate to run a 220/224 or 224/224 cam. I don't think it needs 10* more exhaust as long as you have a well designed exhaust system. Those lingenfelter cams run great with stock manifolds and stock exhaust though.
