Ok folks I got it narrowed down to 2 cams. I've filtered out all the others and only intrested in these 2. Tell me what one you would go with and WHY!!

TSP 228R
228/228 .588/.588 112lsa

OR

TSP Torquer v.2
232/234 .595/.595 112lsa

This car will more than likely get a set of ported LS6 heads with all the goodies and I WILL NOT go over a 3200 stall! Driveability is a huge factor, I can't have it not finding an idle and giving me constant problems. Bryan @ pcmforless will be doing the tune since theres literally no one for at least 2 hours around me that can dyno tune. I will also be passing NC emissions which is the pcm check



***Does anyone think the torquer 2 will be to big for a DD on a 3200 stall and mail-order tune? seriously folks put some input in 8 votes and no info

dont forget to say WHY you chose what you did folks!

I chose the T2 becuase you didnt have any FMS cams in the poll, F14 FTW !!!

looks like the same cam pretty much, you think ill be fine with a 3200 stall with it as a DD?

00slowredz

i said the torquer2 because i know people run a lot bigger cams in their dd's, its shown damn good results, and you're gonna have a 3200 stall so i think you'll be fine....


as far as drivability though, the tune can make or break you about as much as a stall can

I hope bryan can do a good mail tune then. the only thing I dont wanan do with the v2 is spin it to the moon its gonan be shifting at about 6300 tops

00slowredz

6300!?!?! these motors love to be spun high man, you just gotta do the supporting mods when you do the cam. my cam's duration is SMALL compared to the torquer 2 and its still pulling when i shift at 6600

well im prolly gonna sue stock rods and pistons as well as lifters but im gonna use the arp rod bolts so i dunno how well the stock rods and lifters will hold up

im a daily driver and i have a torquer 2 and its great

iTrader: (9)

what are you shifting at?

CaliboyTA

iTrader: (2)

bump the redline to 7k but on the dyno graph, peak hp is 6300

Tainted

iTrader: (9)

woah 7k is way to much i really really dont wanna push it past 6400 at the most if this new motor pops or something goes wrong game over for me

CaliboyTA

iTrader: (2)

well the peak hp is 6300, i normally shift where the stock redline is, but if i want to i could go to 7k's, thats where the tuner put the limiter

00slowredz

just spend a little more money and add pushrods and ls7 lifters to your list....its worth it man. u can pick up a set of pushrods for a little over $100 and i got my ls7 lifters for $110 (shipped)


you ARE gonna do dual valvesprings right!?!?! and oil pump, timing chain, ti retainers, etc...

Tainted

iTrader: (9)

oh yea man im getting the heads/cam package from TSP. i think ill jsut do the beehive springs tho since the torquers lift isnt (in my eyes) enough to make me need the dual springs. im even getting some 1.7 RR's

CaliboyTA

iTrader: (2)

exactly. thats what i've done: ls7 lifter, pushrod, oil pump timign chain etc. Extra security, i sure as hell don't want to do it again.

00slowredz

its all in what you think you need but i'd rather have dual valvesprings and NOT need them, then hear KABOOM and wish i woulda just spent the money in the first place

00slowredz

i did...

comp dual valvesprings
ti retainers
seals, seats, locks etc..
ls6 ported oil pump
ls2 timing chain
chromo pushrods
ls7 lifters....and i think thats all

Tainted

iTrader: (9)

I can get ls7 lifters cheap that aint a problem and i suppose i could upgrade the springs if yall see a need for them. if the peak is at 6300 though why keep it spinning?

Same at .050 but not the same cam, although pretty close, I think I just have a thing for FMS cams
