Just bought zzp 2.2 axles, full timing kit, lsj dipstick and tube, new coil packs for good measure, flywheel bolts, injector seals, thermo housing gasket, crossover tube orings, water pump gasket, valve covergasket.
I think that's it haha. I'm getting close

Cardone select's are about the best you can do for axles for the auto's, they T6 heat treat the shafts and the CV joints are usually slightly oversized for longevity purposes. Not that that makes them amazing but they will usually withstand a little bit more HP then the stockers. Just because they are built with a lifetime warranty. Mevotech builds oversized wheel bearings as well for our cars.

The area where the sensor pressed onto the original cam is the same size as all of the journals. So when you trim off the end of the cam that normally drives the lsj cam sensor, you are left with a floating journal. The sensor presses on that journal to the same location as with the factory cam
The few people that have had it done paid 200 plus dollars to have the cam machined down and the sensor pressed on. The only real benefit is a pretty edge. I have a press, so I decided to do it myself

The sensor is press fit, and the exhaust cam just needed to be cut down to factory length. The lsj has an extra journal on the end, while some l61s do not.

The cams spin at a fraction of the speed of the rotating assembly, and are a relatively small diameter. Have you seen the actual sensor? Its basically a weight hanging off one side of the cam, all else equal to the other cams with no sensor. My cuts will cause zero issues, and I would put money on it. If it were anything else, it would be a different story. As far as the end of the camsshafts, it's fine
The zzp cams have tack welds to hold the hex drive in. Do you think they rebalanced the cam after they reweld? It's negegable.

I forgot to pull the oem files before I ripped half the electrical out haha

Assume what is notched?
Not yet. I need to pull the oem file and have someone look at it. Hopefully someone can translate a similar lsj tune over. Just at least get it to idle so I can heat cycle it. I just need to get the block honed and then assemble everything. I don't think there are any 07-08 tunes readily available for something this modified.

I have a copy of the LSJ stage 2 tune as well.

Also I have a stock L61 file for an auto if you want it.

I don't think you'll be able to get that kind of a tune file. It would be too risky for someone else to give out their tunes. I'd say disable VE and tune for MAF only. 5_Liter_Eater has a great post on HPT forums for tuning idle airflow and even gives a config. I used this to tune my airflow and it works great except my O2 sensor is bad. About to throw in the towel nailing down idle - Page 5
Also I have a stock L61 file for an auto if you want it.
