Would Anyone be Interested in a Used TSP Cam and Extras?

So I have switched to a different cam motion custom cam. I took out my old TSP cam which has about 10k miles on it. I swapped it out since I had to take my motor apart after the stock intake valve seats decided to start to fall apart. I haven't been able to conclude for certain what caused my seats to fail but the TSP cam's aggressiveness could have had something to do with it. However, TSP themselves claim that the LT1 is supposedly known for having really weak/problematic valve seats, but considering they sell new aftermarket castings with aftermarket seats you would expect them to say that. I was also running my rev limiter probably higher than I should have at almost 7500 rpms which could have had something to do with it as well. I am saying all this not as a disclaimer or trying to convince you the cam is bad but I just want someone to be aware of it. Anytime you put in a higher lift and duration cam things can go wrong and potentially not last as long as stock, but this is still a relatively mild cam, that being said I think TSP's cam profiles are a little on the aggressive side. Which just means they should theoretically make more power at the expensive of drivability and longevity.

So basically what you would need would be lifters, AFM delete plugs, cam phaser limiter kit (optional but recommended since the stock cam phaser is known to be unstable with stiffer springs), and valve seals. You would also need the usual engine assembly stuff gaskets, head bolts, cam bolt, etc. I will work with someone if anyone ends up interested to make sure they get everything they need.

The cam will work on a stock engine with no piston fly cutting. I would recommend a high quality lifter like Johnson or Morel but I think a lot of people use LS7 lifters. This cam has good driveability, it feels 100% like stock until it gets below about 950 rpms is when it starts to get a little lopey and starts to shake. After I refined my tune file I have it idleing at around 700rpms and it is very stable although it does shake a little more than stock. It however won't randomly stall or cut out or anything like that. I ran mine on the stock torque converter and it was fine.

So to sum it up I want to sell:

-TSP Custom Cam Grind 228/236 .635/.635 114-LSA 111-ICL +3 Advance with 32% Fuel Lobe Increase
-TSP 3/8 0.080 Wall Thickness Chromoly Pushrods 7.800 in
-PRC .660 Max Lift Dual Springs with Titanium Retainers
-Pray Ported Stock LT1 Intake Manifold
-Pray Ported Stock LT1 Throttle Body
-I will also send you the HP Tuners tune file I used, but you will need HP Tuners and have your ECM and TCM licensed.

I'm in 29334. Pushrods have been run for about 10k. However, before I sell them I need to check them for straightness, which I can do at work but visually they are fine.

I have a 6.2 L9H and I completely forgot I could use the springs and pushrods in that if I put a cam in it, at least I think I can since I think the height is similar but slightly shorter but I could be wrong, but I kind of would want a single or LS6 type conical since I feel it would be more reliable. I can take some pictures when I get home.
