If its the older LS6 cam from a 02-04 vette then no you dont need a new spocket you already have the LS2 style one...i would go ahead and get pushrods and maybe do a better spring like a 918 or a PRC spring

the newer engines have a center bolt to retain the cam similar to Gen1 engines and have to be replaced with the three bolt style of the LS6 cam.

thats on the 6.2 and 7.0 right....they didnt do that on the 4.8, 5.3 or 6.0, they still have the 3 bolt with the LS2 style sprocket and cover

people rave about this cam with FI which is why i went with this cam for my TT setup...right now i have mine set at 6200 1-2 6100 2-3 6100 3-4, i am going to bump it up later cause of the vic jr intake i am running....i would put it on the dyno and see where its making the power...that will tell you the best place to set the shifts at

You may be correct. I can't say for sure since I haven't done a cam in any 07+ setups. I remember one being posted about changing the sprocket. Might be a good topic for a writeup if someone can find the documentation. Nathan?

The 6.0 (LS2)in the 08 TBSS has a single bolt in the center sprocket for the cam.
