Default MS4/ls6 heads or Torquer v3/ 5.3 stg 2.5

I can't decide between the 2.

Are there any major pros or cons between the 2 setups I should consider?

I don't want to fly cut first off.
This is a stalled 3600 A4 application.

Will both setups be putting down about the same dyno numbers?
Will both offer around the same street manners?
Big difference in power under the curve?

Not a DD, weekend play car with occasional track time


Thank you ahead of time for your inputs!

Of all the cams and heads in this world, and all the possibilities in between, you've somehow settled on these 2 setups? And you say it's a stalled auto but then ask about dyno numbers? Read a bit man. Dyno numbers don't matter in a stalled auto... you should ask if they'll run the same track times instead. And look at how each cam performs and then decide. Personally, I bought a cam that I've seen in person since the internet descriptions are usually so skewed and biased.

Yes, I've decided to buy from TSP and I was asking for thoughts comparing these 2 setups exclusively

1. Don't worry about the dyno numbers. This really isn't a dick waving contest.

2. Both could have the same street manners with a good tuner.

3. The Torquer V3 will have more under the curve. The MS4 is a nasty up high cam.

FWIW, I went Torquer V3/ PRC 5.3L Stage 2.5 as well. Motor is tore apart right now. I rarely go to the track. This project may see more track time eventually, but even if you're 75% on the street and 25% track time, I'd get the street setup everytime.

Have you called TSP about this and got there input? I went with the V.2 and stage 2.5 5.3 heads and i'm very happy. The guys there are very helpful. Either way you cant go wrong. Those are both awesome setups. Good luck
