Quote where I said it was not for aftermarket heads and aftermarket exhaust. I said what the cam was designed for, does not mean it cannot be used for other applications.

Re: Almost 400whp :)

News flash:

2slow does not own a LS1 or a LS2.
2slow has never cracked a valve cover on his "LSx offspringed" 325.
2slow is trying to give you advice on the internals of an LS2.
You may begin laughing now.

How many times do I have to say it, to make you get it through your iron thick skull ?

Yea I have never cracked the valve covers off doesnt mean that I havent built a totally small block chevrolet which is pretty much the same thing we have here. Both have one cam in line with a crankshaft. Its not really that hard to do. But obviously I have done more to a small chevrolet than you have ever done to your ford. Must be hard to pay a shop to do all the work huh ? I bet you havent cracked the bolts off of your heads either. (I bet the shop did).
You are such An ExP3rt y0 !111!!

Re: Almost 400whp :)

Just because a two motors are OHV doesnt mean theyre the same. An LS1 only shares bore spacing with a standard SBC, nothing more.

Re: Almost 400whp :)

So the SBC I have in my '69 Nova is pretty much the same as what I had in my '01 TA?

HOLY FUCK WHY DID I EVER BUY AN LS1 THEN?!

I NEVER SAID THAT IT WOULD CHANGE THE OVERLAP OF THE CAM. Can you read ? So you drove your car there ? I will wait for the reply to this before I prejudge what you are about to say.

This is you right here saying

It is obviuos you have no clue about cam dynamics. I stated clearly why, and you came back with a poor tune. It is your own words that make you look stupid.

No one argued differently, but it is not the optimal cam for an aftermarket head when it was designed around a stock head. Duh.... quite different flow characteristics along with increased or decreased velocities are going to change how efficient a cam will be making power.

What the fuck ever, you have not even built an LS1, because if you had you would also know that piston comes out of bore and above the deck, in a small block it stays in bore. Completely different steps in determining P to V clearance. Along with your consistant bantering about aftermarket heads leads me to further believe you have no clue.

You are truly an idiot if you think that. With more holding capacity on the crank there is less chance for the crank to walk or move. Meaning its harder for the rods to come apart from the crank. Like I have stated before I agree with you on the rod bolts. He will def need rod bolts in the future and most likely rods ( just to be safe).

You are the idiot who brought the 6 bolt mains into the discussion of rod bolts. They have nothing to do with each other you fucking moron. Further more no one is even talking about crank walk, please quote post were it says otherwise, damn you are stupid. We have posted over and over again that the rod bolts would not be safe at the RPMs required to make max performance of the T-Rex cam due to rod bolt stretch. No one said anything about the crank except your dumbass.

If you've never taken the covers off, then how can you say that you built an engine.

I'm not the smartest engine guy but I assume that you have to build the engine and then put the covers on

I have built both and what you are saying is completely and utterly false. They share nothing in build assembly other than replacing the lifters, which is barely related because of the retainers the LS1 uses. I surely would not use a small block Chevy rebuild manual to build an LS1.
The comment about shop kills me, this coming from the same guy who canot figure out how to get around tech at the track because of a blowdown tube. Not to mention your lack of ability to even run one without cutting.
