if thats yur car in yur sig man, its a bad *** looking car.. i think the torquer v3 will perform better than the torquer v2. but i dont think the gains will be that much and worth the swap. if i were to go bigger than the cam u have right now it would be for something bigger like the vindicator or MS4 or something that size.

I have the MS3 on stock bottom end. Bad *** cam, completely driveable, just need a GOOD tuner. Look it up in search. Peaks power at 6400-6500 on a 112 LSA

im pretty sure a 3600 stall is enough to run with the vindicator. the 3600 and MS3 would be a good setup also.

The MS4 camshaft will make something like 10-12hp over the T2 camshaft. The Torquer 3 makes 4hp over the Torquer 2.

The MS4 camshaft is smaller & makes torque peak several hundred rpm before the Vindicator on the engine dyno. With the MS4 you get a camshaft with less duration, better clearance, better peak hp & a torque peak several hundred rpm before the Vindicator.

The MS4 can be run with a 3600 stall, but you have to decide if a cam swap & all the cost is worth the 10hp!!

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL T/A!! I had tremendous success with my 347 with the Comp Cams-.595"-.598", 232*-234*@.050", 112LS. I can get the part # for you. I don't know your compression and other incidentals. This cam likes 10.5 + and loved the NX. Instant snap, 28mpg, loves your converter, 7.6@93mph (NA), with a 4100+lb convertible, and killer sound. I was going to go bigger when I spun a bearing, but Carry @ ET Perf. convinced me that this cam would shine in the 382". He was absolutely right on. I have over 18,000 miles with no problems.
Jason, please take no offence. I'm just relating to answer his question. Your stuff rocks.

That comp cam has the same specs as the V.2 cam. but see i spun a rod bearing im pretty sure will know this weekend for sure, but if my cam is flat ill need another cam. i really like the ms4!!!

And the ms4 can be ran with a tci 3500-3800 stall converter in a DD?

I believe the MS4 can be run with your converter. I don't know the specs of the V-2 cam. I had mentioned it 'cause it worked great for a DD. I really looked at that MS4 and MS3, but at the time with my "old school thinking", I thought it was a bit much as it was not well proven. I've used Crower and Comp Cams for 30 years and had a good repore with them. You can say I was a little "gun shy" at the time. Now with all of their success, I would highly recommend the MS4. I put 15-20,000 miles a year on my car. A real radical cam can wear out springs and parts prematurely, and I don't know how many miles you put on your ride. I also change my valve springs every season to keep the original performance. If this economy would ever get into gear, I would like to try a 383-40? with about 11.0-12.0-1 comp with some good heads with the MS4. I think it would make a great shop project! Good Luck and send some feedback.
PS, see if you spun #6.
