Again, it is the biggest you can run on a stock stall converter, and yes it will work just fine.

ok since I keep hearing from everyone to change the stall? which do yall recommend? and what size? Looks like I will need some type of external tranny cooler since I live in Houston and with a new stall would be worried about the high heat.
Also, with everyones advise I just ordered the trunion upgrade kit.
Now that I am choosing to go with a stall converter, I guess I have to start all over with the search for a cam since I can go bigger (still want dependability and drivability)

Pick the torque converter then based on how you drive the car.
Also, depending on how high of a stall you go with, you will also need to think about a larger cap. cooler for the trans.

The car is just to put around town, never going to track or any HPD.
If you are for sure going to a bigger stall converter, then yes that will change what you can do with the camshaft.

Would Spin's 230/234 cam recommended for a car that doesn't see daily driving and would see the track a few times a year? Or are there stronger cams for this task that sacrifice some drivability while not significantly lowering longevity? Looking the g6x3 comes up a lot and there is 234/242 112+4 that has positive results. I don't want to hijack the thread but given I have an LS2 I thought someone could weigh in.

One last question. I have narrowed my search down to Spins specs or an eps 234/242 112+4 (Patrick G cam). Can someone more knowledgeable in cams explain how the eps cam would differ in the mid-range and up top? How would drivability suffer with the large split?

large split = poor drivability. That's about all you need to know.
It may extend the powerband out a couple hundred more rpm but I think you'll be losing more in the way of drivability then you will gain in top end power.
