Custom grind by my shop, won't give specifics, but very mild and sneaky, no problems, lots of HP!

alright well let me ask you this, with a great tune stock ls2 heads will i be able to get away with some like a 228/230 111lsa? I want the car to lope pretty good but to never buck or stall. I know a gew ls1 guys who run into problems with 230+/235+ w/o tunes. So im hopeing as a DD it shouldnt have any problems?


a2zpcwiz- I loved your video, sounds awesome! I think that might be a perfect cam. Where did you pick it up? Any extra work needed to be done for it to work?

i believe the biggest issue isnt duration, it's the lift. the stock springs arent good for much lift.

how much lift is on that?

I chose the cam and my shop got it for me. No issues whatsoever.
The idle is nice. The car does shake but nothing crazy. Never dies.
I believe I have a great tune as a few people on here have had problems after cams installs.
I do have new double springs, rods, etc...

Actually, someone asked me for the specs earlier so I have them handyif anyone wants them:
- Comp cam
- Part#: 54-000-11
- SN#: J 4637-06
- New spring are required

Hope this helps.
