Ok.....
So, many thanks for the continued input gentlemen.
For clarity, I am not chasing dyno numbers. With my budget that is probably unwise! However, I was looking to improve numbers under the curve and, going on the like for like testing Hot Rod did, seems as if the LS2 gives me that. Sure it looses 10lbft under 2500 to the LS6 but after that it is all good.
Again, in a truck weighing 3400-3500lb (?) Vs. the Silverado the Engine came out of at 4200 (?) don't think I will miss the 18lbs. As with all things in life it is about the complete package - would Cindy Crawford have risen too the dizzy heights of supermodel fame if she had a face like Hilary Clinton (please insert your own mental image here)?
My aim is to run the LM7 with a TKO600 - 4.11 gears and 28" tall tyres- the addition of the manual will help in moving off the line and negate the need for any increase in stall speed ( if indeed it was ever required).
I would rather just fit a LS6 cam for ease but am baulking at the price for what is essentially a 14 year old component - Are they really worth the $300 price tag?
Again, I would like to thank you all for your input. Have actually learned a lot from Boosted and now understand what components are required if/when I change the cam.
Then again I could just add a turbo but that is a completely different conversation and price range!
Keep on smiling!
