Summit stage 2 cam
Hi, I got a recommadation from Summit for this cam for my 2005 C6.

To be honest, I have already installed it, but having secound thoughts when I read more about it(for carburetor engines).
What do you think?
Have ARH and Corsa exhaust as well, and still not done with installation, only cam installed.

I dunno if anyone read this part, "Fly-cutting pistons may be required"...
It also states "Summit Racing™ Pro LS Single Plane cams are affordable and designed for racing applications where a carburetor and open exhaust are commonly found." so this cam is intended for a Carbed LS... This probably isn't what you want.
I'd go with a TSP 228r or something to that effect. Plenty of good off the shelf cams for an LS2 out there but this isn't one of them.

I'd say you at least need to check piston to valve clearance. If they make contact you're going to have bigger problems than just having the wrong cam.

your call, personally I'd get something thats right for your setup before trying to run a cam thats likely going to have **** drivability and be a bitch to tune.

How is your Vette being used? Street, street/strip, drag strip, road course, half mile, roll racing, impress the car show crowd, DPDI, what? Do manners, drivability, fuel eco, matter? All of that goes into making a cam choice. Not just what type of fuel/air mixer you're employing.

That cam will feel pretty choppy and likely will have a low peak HP. I don't know this is the right cam if you're looking for balanced performance, but it should make a bunch of torque on the bottom end.
