BTR? its coming back to this:
BTR CAMSHAFT – LS1/LS2 – N/A STAGE 2 – 3273413 GS
Specs: 227/234 .614″/.576″ 113+2
if so then yes... its a pretty mild cam, you'll need suporting mods obviously (pushrods, springs, ect.) but this will be a good daily drivable cam for an LS2 car. I'd recommend also doing lifters while your in there. If you have an auto you'll need a 2800 or higher stall convertor.

This is the short answer bit its a bit more complicated than this: Larger camshafts do not make as much power or torque at idle and off idle as stock ones. A stock torque converter is made to let the stock engine idle happily at some 6-900 rpm or so. Above that, they begin to load the engine and move the car. A bigger cam will want to idle faster, but the converter wont let it. So they fight each other. If you lower the idle speed to stock you get lurching when you put it in gear, stalling, etc. If you fix the idle speed, the car will want to creep at stoplights, etc, and will heat up quicker when stopped.

yes that would be the one and I bought it with all the supporting mods luckily but I will have to look into the stall converter

Another highly recommended upgrade is the rocker Trunnions. It was tedious pressing out 16 (especially with a vice) but its easy enough.
Car will run without, but supporting Valvetrain stability upgrades will help it last longer and its very easy to do while in there.
