Default LS2 Cam help!

Hey guys I almost have everything together making a full cam kit but im confused on a few things please help. Here is what I think I need/have.

BTR Stage IV Cam719$: http://www.briantooleyracing.com/bundle-cam-kit.html

LS7 Lifters115$:http: //www.ebay.com/itm/like/331538365922?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=tru e

C5R Timing chain250$: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/c...FZFcfgodS8cE3A

Oil Pump upgrade150$: http://www.lingenfelter.com/product/MEL10296.html

ATI Balancer 150$: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/a...FYpefgodzCkK3A


This is everything I have and think I should change is there anything else i should do to have a more reliable car with this cam or changing anything while Im at it like the rockerarms? i have 72k miles and allot of beating miles i guess.

if i should get a new rocker arm set which ones should i get thanks guys!!

My other mods are full z06 exhaust with gutted cats and getting a vararram intake with ported TB and intake.

What do you guys think i can make to the wheels with these mods its a 2007 manual ls2 c6 vert

thanks again!!!

That lift is high so valve springs will need to be checked and changed. If you want a street cam that is trouble free keep the lift under .600.

That is just the balancer hub you posted there. You need the whole balancer. More like 500 bucks.

He has that covered with the BTR cam kit on the first provided link on his post.

Chris, looks good. I installed a ATI unit when I did my cam swap close to a year ago and they are an awesome unit. Also add a ARP balancer bolt, they are stronger and longer than OEM one. The link you posted of the ATI balancer is just the replacement hubs and your timing chain set is a little pricey. Just purchase everything you need from BTR, give them a call and tell them your plans and they will set you up. Another thing to consider is upgrading your intake manifold to a FAST 102 unit to optimize your cam.

Ik it does look like a good idea don sorry for the response damn password had to reset it. But I just got a highschool job I can do mean while and average around a thousand a month so I made a change of plans now I will be selling my ls2 and either getting a c6 z06 for 35 or spend 6k more and get a c7... so hard to choose
