Default torquer 2 waiting...should i change to ms3?

ordered a TSP torquer 2 cam thinking about calling them and changing to an ms3 what do you guys think? car will eventually be sporting a 150 shot and a 9" w/ 3.90's, right now its a daily driven heads + bolt ons. 3" true duals, pacesetter LT's 90/90 combo, lid, etc.

heads are.

dart 205cc intake runner

62cc combustion chamber

2.02/1.60

will those heads have problems with PTV with an ms3? i know the torquer 2 will be fine...what do you guys think? car is daily driven...but dont mind a big cam as long as its not stalling out...and it'll be tuned by one of the best...jeremy formato

Torquer is a great cam, i know cause its what i got on my setup with 5.3 heads.

MS3s are just too aggressive, not very comfortable for the street on a stock 346 shortblock, IMO.

I am considering the torquer 2 instead of the X1, I am going to order tsp's 2.5's with it, how do you like the torquer 2 for the street? I know it would be great on the top end, but how is it down low and idle,etc on the street?

i would honestly look at the x1 over the torquer v2!! there was a vid of a guy with an x1 pulling an ms3 from a roll!! also look into the thunder racing TRAK cam!! 231/234 640/590 112!!

I really like the sounds of Thunder Racing cams, especially the 230/224, not too sure about that trak cam? I haven't heard much about that cam at all? Looks pretty mean though!
