Default Best ls2 cam??

I have a 06 M6 and i was looking around the internet and didn't find to much info on what cam was the best as for performance. I use to have a 05 mustang gt and had comp stage 2 cams and loved them but im not sure what everyone else is using so i wanted some input on this. I have a vararam intake, bb bullets and thats about it for now, im not looking to change gears or put a blower on (would be nice though) i want a cam that will work with a ported/polished fast intake and tbody and just basic bolt ons. what does everyone recommend?

If you're going to but a blower on your LS2, you should be looking for a cam that complements the blower. Do both mods at the same time for optimum performance.

We use Comp Master lobes, same as everyone else that uses Comp Cams. Nothing weird. Ramp is very soft so we can tune our cams to close to stock driveability. Yes, we do use very big duration and lift is .630 inches

Yes, Comp has several Master Lobes for the Gen III & Gen IV LS engines - XE, XE-R, LSK, and so on. You can mix and match the lobes to build the kind of cam characteristics and behavior you are trying to achieve.

With what I have in my Sig when I was at 7200ft in Colorado Springs. I was 444/404.

I'm looking for a tuner here in Maryland now that I'm back from my deployment. So, I will share the new dyno numbers when they come in.

The cam pulls like a freight train.
