I have a 08 Coupe that I recently bought. It has a pretty stout CAM installed along with some other goodies. I thought that I could get used to the CAM but it lope's too much at idle for my taste.

Vengeance racing in Atlanta installed the CAM and told me that they threw the origional CAM away. They will make the CAM change but I would have to buy another CAM.

That being the case, I would like to know if anyone can recommend a good shop near Nashville that can do the swap?

Let us know if we can help you out with something. We can cut something much more mild or even go back to stock should that be what you want to do.

Always ask to keep the part!

I searched ebay for you, but only found an 06 cam:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/06-C6...Q5fAccessories

you could keep looking there.

My 08 has a LS3 engine, I don't know if a LS2 CAM would work?

I agree. My point was the same, and that you can find similar things on ebay, so you might want to keep looking on ebay. Was hoping I could find an LS3 version for you, but I couldn't at this time.

I sent you a lengthy Email prior to checking this post. I did not have the work done as I stated. If I had I would have kept all of the removed parts for future owners as they usually ask for them. I have had many Corvettes and I know from experience that having the removed parts is a plus when selling the car later on.

My goal is to try and have the car idle closer to normal and not spend a fortune doing it. I know that Vengeance did exactly what the prior owner wanted and He was happy with the results. As the old saying goes, "it is not everyones cup of tea" and having a car that shakes and shimmies is not mine.

I look forward to hearing from you.
