That one is the GT2-3 I think, made by Lingenfelter if I remember right. Idles like stock. BTW which engine is in your truck? That will help guys give better advice. And what future mods are you planning?

That's the one; LPE GT 2-3. Designed specifically for use with the MagnaCharger Radix.

thats a nice cam for a Radix truck. Vince went 12.7XX with his Silverado SS with a Radix, 2.8 pulley and that cam.

I just bought the gt2-3 cam for my radix 5.3 combo. It is actually on sale from Lingenfelter for $399.00 shipped to your door with valve springs and retainers. I heard it is an awesome cam for the radix even thought lingenfelter recomends there gt 7 cam. gt7 has more exhaust duration and a bit less lift.

Blownchevy seen 44rwhp with his cam and tuning afterward, but that was in a 5.3.

The only person that I have seen with a gt2-3 cam in a 6.0 was CHarris. He said that the cam worked awesome and was even better than his Cheater (sp) cam that he previously installed, and that cam was larger. I would PM him him. If you are not careful which cam you purchase, you may have driveability problems such as low vacuum at idle which mau cause your truck to die when using accesories.

Their are many running that cam with a Radix on an LQ9, and they are all happy with it. You will be too... great mid and high range power over stock.

how about the off idle - low end power with that cam? how does it compare to stock? is there any noticeable "lope" at idle?
