Default Cam Only install
Today, we started a cam package for a local guy. He's got a Sunset Orange, 6 speed, z51, basically loaded out coupe. Here's a list of parts courtesy of Texas Speed and Performance.

Custom Spec'd Comp Cams Camshaft
Comp Cams 921 Dual Valve Springs
Texas Speed Pushrods
Ported and Polished LS2 Throttlebody
Powerbond Underdrive Pulley
LG Pro Long Tubes with 2 additional bungs
and of course our custom SD tuning

The car already has:
Borla Stingers
Vararam Cold Air Intake with Spacer

Pics are coming...

Absolutely, the LS2 throttlebody has a good restriction that can be eliminated.

I'd have to pull the cam card but I thought it was:
232/236 XER 110 + 2

I see you left the steering rack in the car but moved.

That cam looks to be a bit tight for the stock pistons.

IMO, its easier to drop the front cradle instead of pulling the rack.
