I have done lots and lots of research on here, and I would like some imput from both Patrick and some one from TSP. The set up will at first be a header intake pulley cam car, with heads and nitrous to come later. I would want the torquer on a 111 LSA. I'm willing to listen to a lot of noise (I'm driving around with open headers right now) and I have access to tuning software and some one that knows how to use it very well. I really want to feel torque throughout the entire RPM band, and would like to understand which cam is going to offer me the best trade off of low end grunt vs top end screaming, from a valve event standpoint.
At some point in the future I'll be going with some PRC stage one heads, once I have $ for a rearend. I'm also not worried about spring life of the LSK intake lobe and would want that on the patrick G cam. What are the exact specs of the Patrick G cam? 228/232? LSA?
Thanks in advance

My cam is designed for high compression applications and good flowing cylinder heads.

It's 223/227 .636/.639 LSK lobes on a 110LSA with no advance ground in. In my car, it gives me 8.73:1 dynamic compression which is ideal for me.

If you were wanting a Donkey Dick cam for cam-only now, then heads later, then I'd recommend the following:

235/243 .646/.653 110LSA +4 advance
This cam will give you the same dynamic compression as my Torque Cam, it will have comparable mid-range, and superior top end power. If I decide to stay naturally aspirated in the future, I may give this cam a try. It is totally badass!!

What is the spring life like with these LSK lobes? Or has no one put enough miles on one to really know?

I thought it was 224/228 .637/.639 on a 110LSA?

Plenty of people have had big stroker cams with .625+ lift on older style lobes like the XER. Its been pretty well accepted that the larger lift shortened the spring life. Increasing the ramp rates would only add stress. It stands to reason that the LSK lobes will wear springs out even quicker. Probably why PP and PRC went scrambling to redesign their dual spring coils. If the outer spring is a better SiCr alloy, it might last just as long as the smaller lobes did. Hopefully someone who does religious spring pressure testing will alert us if they go soft too quickly. Personally, that lift scares the hell out of me. Even though the difference between .6 and .65 on a 1.8 install height is only a 7.7% increase, fatigue likely increases exponentially. Until we have some reports of average spring life, i think id want to check them in half the usual time.

thanks for the quick reply Patrick, and every one elses input. I am aware of the decrease in spring life, but you gotta pay to play right? I was wondering if Zach or some one else from TSP would come by and comment.
Thanks

I agree with Patrick's cam suggestion, but I'd do it on a 110+2 for less exhaust bias, slightly higher peak (but still tuned for the FAST 90), and better power carry past peak. It'd still be real nice in the midrange - it'd just need a little more static compression.

I'd be going with an LS6 intake, I don't have the funds for a FAST and some one that's not LS1/6 educated won't know it's there

FAST 90 and LS6 still like their peaks in the same general area. The above cam is not fighting either one. But, I'd probably suggest going back to the +4 with the LS6.

similar one on compcams XE-R 236/242 @.050 .602''/.610'' 110lsa

G5X3 is an XE-R 234/242 112+4. So anything around that area would work.

Patrick, what is the usable power range for the donkey dick cam that you suggested?
Thanks

Wow; I thought it was 224/228 .637/.639 110LSA as well

LSK lobes are 1 degree smaller than XE-R @ .050" but can spec out a little higher.

use a dual spring set up like comps #26921-16, or crane #144832-16/#144833-16 depending on what spring pressure you need between the two. pat's cam is a trq. monster, i use a similar set up on engines 224/228 but haven't gone that tight with the lsa yet, but i usually put them in on a 109 icl.

any one have an opion on the power curve of this cam with LS6 intake, underdrive pulley and headers? 2400-6800? maybe 7K? I think I'll be getting some Katech Rod bolts before bumping my limiter.

Also is there any advance ground into the Torquer V3? I'd be ordering the 111LSA version

Thanks

Actually the PRC springkit's have held up well to the LSK lobe cams, mine did 25k+ miles with my .630" lift cam and are still on the car that I sold 4 months ago. Texas Speed worked with the spring manufacturer to come up with a better suited spring for the LSK lobe cams to accommadate those who were worried by the bigger lift and more aggressive ramp rates and also to maybe add a little life to the springs.

The Torquer v.3 has been consistent with it's good results and many satisfied customers. It has a great power curve, awesome sound and is easily tuned. If you need a graph to look at let me know and I have several with different combinations, I might have one that will be close to what you've got.

I'm confident you will be completely satisfied with the cam, if you do decide you want something custom ground let me know and I can set it up for you at a great price!!! That goes for anyone else as well!!

Hey thanks for the reply Zach. I'd love to see a budget bolt on Torquer 3 graph. I've seen Frats and was very impressed, what are the options as far as advance goes on the V3? Can i get a custom cam in your cam package?
Thanks

Damn I would think that if texas speed posted dynos on here with all there cams, it would only sell more cams and give people a better understanding of what differant combos do

Food for thought

Zach@Texas-Speed

iTrader: (7)

We do that exact thing!! Have you checked the dyno section?

We also have dyno sheets readily available with different combos for customers who want to have an idea of what their car will do.
