Thats an LS3 cam OP is asking for LS2 options.
TSP's Torquer V2 is a popular LS2 cam but my suggestion is to get with the guy that's gonna tune the car because ultimately he will be the one to make it all work.

the 224r and 228r camshafts have been very popular (and very streetable) for a while now. either one will give you another 40 rwhp and behave nicely. A 2800-3600 converter (yank) will work perfectly too. The LS2 intakes aren't the best, if you can swing it, a FAST 92 would be a nice addition.

I had the Torquer V2 in an LS3 and the manners were krap. Even after two attempts to tune it by two different tuners. It would be worse in an LS2.

ported stock ls3 heads. i dynoed at a place 454whp although i think the dyno read a bit low. it was a dynojet but most cars made about 40-50 whp lower then expected it also said i only made 370tq and saw a stock c7z make 534whp as well id expect that to be closer to 570-580whp..
so i do feel i need to dyno again. shop did great work so im not upset about it too much

I ended up not doing a cam, just had kooks headers, xpipe and borla s mufflers installed and tuned, turned out to be 410 rwhp.

That’s pretty good. If you want to drag race it, some drag radials and a 3000 converter will knock off 3-4 tenths easily.
