It will need to be tuned for sure, also just a heads up....the corvette does not have CAMS... it just has 1 cam. if it runs when you change it limp it to get it tuned or get it towed.

OP: Also look at the FAST 102 intake, which is a great mod for the LS2, as well as some nice headers. If you do decide to do a cam, maybe think about installing these two items, so that you do not have to deal with them later down the road. Also this will save you a lot of money on labor & time. Good Luck!

Wasfi Khundaqji,

We can custom spec a camshaft for your particular application. This way you'll get the most for your modifications and retain the drive-ability you're looking for. We also offer full installation services, but I see you're located out of the country..

Send me a PM if you're interested and we'll setup everything you need!

-Shane

Honestly, no one can answer this question without more info from you about how much power you're trying to make, what street manners you can tolerate, etc.

Your best bet is to get a custom cam from someone who knows their stuff.

need more detail. Is your car an auto or manual? where are you located at? With a cam you will need a tune if you are located somewhere where there is no decent tuner i can set you up with remote tuning via EFIlive autocal or HP tuners via pat g.

I can set you up with a cam and everything needed to install also. All you will need is to add coolant back lol.. give us some more info man and can help you no problem!!!
