Question for anyone that has experiance with cam install on '05 Ls2 GTO. I have heard it is very easy compared to my LT1 camaro. Is it true that the intake does not need to be removed, just rockers and pushrods, rotate the cam and lifters stay up?? Front cover comes off without disturbing the oil pan? With the radiator and A/C condenser out of the way will the cam have clearance to be removed? I was reading the factory service manual regarding cam removeal and it says step #1 remove engine!! ...whats with that? That can't be correct. Any first hand experiance and advise will be appreciated. The factory manual also has steps to remove the heads, this also does not agree with what I have heard.
It appears that the stock cam is tiny, [email protected] int. I am looking for something very streetable, no cam surge with an increase in rear wheel hp around 40hp with cam and PCM tune. I would like to keep every thing else stock. Any suggestions, personal experiance or actual dyno results? Think something around 212 [email protected] would do it? I assume wide lobe separation 117-118 deg would help maintain driveability and low rpm manners? Any input will be appreciated, :cheers
