Since there hasn't been a whole bunch of cam talk lately, I surfed in to one of the GTO websites and did a thread title search for cams.....

I like learning more about cams...... :)

That's fine but keep in mind that the L76 is a different engine to the LS1 and LS2.
Cams that work fine in an LS2 might be a dog or even cause valves to hit pistons in an L76.
The L92 heads on L76 have a lot of unique features/traits not present on 241 or 243 cathedral port heads.

Good call, my bad. Should I be looking more in Corvette cam talk forums, especially with the LS3 engine C6's? Probably....

You could use that as a guide.....to get a feel for whats working and whats not. But dont necessarily select a particular cam based on info there. The bigger bore LS3 V L76 makes a difference to such things as , compression ratio, valve shrouding, perhaps PTV clearance, and final RWHP numbers.

There is a section on LS1.gto devoted to LS2's with L92 head swaps.
I'm sure there is also an L92 cam guide there too. If you find a 6.0 LS2 with L92 heads then you're comparing apples with apples.
