by the way, it runs like a raped ape. even with the light. i think though with the code, its not adjusting the timing when needed for even aditional power!!!!

ls2 cam doesn't have the reluctor ring on the rear of the cam. you will have to use an ls2 cam gear and front cover with the sensor in it.

yes the water pump will still work. it will probably be cheaper to get a z06 cam to replace it with. very similar specs and can be had for around 150 bucks. unless you have access to free ls2 parts.
