why does the air cleaner need to be replaced? aside from it not fitting because it drops down lol. it looks like i need to get either a flat air cleaner base or slightly raised to work with this carb and the bracket i got the dropped version thinking it would help with hood clearance. i have a feeling the stock hood isnt guna clear it all.

I would use a filter that has the top pleated as well like some of the K&N filters. Been proved they make more power.

Did you get the cam gear issue resolved?

I have 58x 3 bolt gears in stock if you need one. Not sure if you're going 24x or 58x.

PS, took a quick look at it. Looks like 07-09 LS2 TBSS had single bolt cams as well...I was not aware of this.
