TV2 in a 408 Anybody running a Torquer V2 in a 408? I really like the way it ran in my 347 when it was still kicking. But now that it is dead again and I 've got my sights on a TSP 408 I'm wondering how it would run in a 408. Could this be the ultimate sleeper cam for a 408 or just a bad Idea? Anybody figured out how to convert Patricks Torquer cam specs for a 347 to a 408 yet. I want the most power under the curve without high rpms. More grunt less growl?

The T2 would actually be a very strong cam in a 402/408, especially with a high-velocity small runner head like the AFR 205/ETP 215/TFS 215.
I've seen several combos make 510/490 with AFR 205s and similar sized XE-R cams in a 402 with a FAST 90/90 and 1-3/4" headers.
I don't know about you, but getting close to 500/500 with very good part-throttle drivability is a helluva lot more appealing than most of these 510/450 or even 520/470 numbers you see a lot of times out of these big heads, big headers, big cam 402/408 cars. They are also lazy at part-throttle and provide no real benefit in terms of peak power.
