Good to see you still posting.

What timing chain have you settled into using for road course stability? The OP and other participants would be wise to upgrade to such a chain such as a real IWIS.

Didn't want to quote the graph in your cam question, & my names not Tony, lol.
But if it was me for a track only 4000-7000 rpm LS2 with LTs, Fast intake, stock heads,
I would look real hard at the Cam Motion LS1/2 Titan 5 232*/238* 113*+4* .621"/.604"
Cam Motion is renowned for their SMOOTH profiles, I am happy to give up potential
instability & durability VS a questionable benefit from more aggressive ramp rates.

Probably worth 30+ Average HP between 3500-6500 & 45+ @ peak vs OE cam.
Just my .02

Agree with all of the above. If I buy another cam, it will be ground by Cam Motion. I'm running two now. One has been buzzed to 7K quite often for 50K miles. That with .620 lift on both sides. Stock rocker arms too.

Here is my stockish LS2 vs cam/heads vs cam/head/removed OEM MAF

Sure....no problem

Shoot me an email with more info on the project and what your hoping to accomplish with the new bumpstick regarding the shape of the power curve etc.

Once I review your email I will likely call you on the phone and we can chat about my suggestion and the reason Im suggesting it

Regards,
Tony
