Default Ls2 turbo c5 cam question

I picked up an 04 z06 with a built ls2 awhile back. The car is now has an aps twin kit at just over 600whp. Last weekend it threw the dreaded cam sensor code twice.. After some research I decided to pull it apart and check the cam sensor then the cam bolts. Has anyone done a writeup? It seems there have been a lot of cars that had the cam bolts back out. Last night I got off the bumper (Pain in the A**) and the cooling system. Having trouble location Cam sensor? Any help is appreciated

I just put an ls2 in my 04 twin turbo as well. Did you get the harness from racetronics for the cam sensor? I had to do cam sensor for ls2 with ls1 connetion, cause I have the ls1 pcm. Its above the crank pulley. To the right looking from front to back.

Yea I've got the correct harness installed. Got it all apart right now and got the front cover off. My cam bolts are all still tight but I'll be replacing them and the crank bolt with arp's. It ended up being the cam sensor so I swapped that. That was a lot of work just to change a cam sensor and the steering rack removal.. that was fun.

Glad you got it. The bolts just may have been seized.
