Lingenfelter GT2-3 LS1 Camshaft


Recommended Posts

i believe there are 2 or 3 members in the mid/high 12's with a gt2-3 & radix combo (plus other odds and ends/bolt ons etc.)

 

i went with the gt2-3 for drivability reasons and having done research... its a pretty popular radix cam (being that lingenfelter uses it in their radix/"supercharged" packages /cars/trucks) that and the proven numbers posted up by the 2 or 3 members on here with that cam...

 

the other cam i was interrested in (my buddy has it in his LS-1 powered (radix'd) 05' Z-71) is a lingenfelter GT-7.... he claims the cam to be an "updated" version of the GT2-3... :dunno: i liked the GT2-3 profile a bit more... tried calling Lingenfelter... couldnt really get a straight answer out of them (asked the same question to two diff. people there and got completely diff. answeres as to which is more specific to my/our application...

 

so in conclusion... im a believer in the GT2-3.... and hopefully within a week or two ill be able to back that belief with numbers etc. etc. etc.

 

(and hopefully those numbers arent broken trans pieces :P )

Nice work Slut :thumbs:

 

I will be looking to hear the results.

 

No I just need to find a good spring tool, and Berzerker I still feel iffy about the lifter retainers. I remember they did pull out hard from those plastic pieces. Maybe I just need to suck it up and just do it.

That is good to hear that it comes highly recommended, I was curious to see how it works with the procharger. 

 

How are you getting yours in?  You doing it yourself, or having someone do it for you?

I am curious too, hopefully I can do it this weekend.

 

I installed my current TR224, so the hard part (valve springs) is already done. It is easy, and like everyone said..don't waste your time or $$ on those lifter tools (like I did!!).

 

I used the Crane valve spring tool. Pricey, but you do 2 at a time.

so are there any recommendations on what cam to look at for my truck? the only thing i plan on doing in the near future is custom tune. i see everyone is talking about the gt2-3 would that be a good choice? i know shit about all the numbers that deal with the cams. so yah any thoughts would be appreciated.

Zippy,

 

I have th P1SC unit with a 3.6 pulley right now. I have been chasing my tail to get the advertized 9 lbs of boost. Had a 3.7 and saw 8 lbs, got a 3.6 Riechard Racing and still see right over 8 lbs. When it is freezing out I can hit close to 10 lbs @ redline.

 

What are you thinking?? ;)
