Help Debating Cams
Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of these two cams, Torquer v3 231/234 .643"/.598" 112 LSA, and G5x3 2xx/2xx .600/.610 112/114.
I need to get some input since i am planning to start tearing down the engine next week. Trying to get around 450rwhp but not interested in peak numbers, getting LG pro headers, PP the ls6 heads, and a powerbond pulley installed at the same time. Thanks.

Both nice cams, but I got one that is a blend of both
It is called PREDATOR-X
231/240 .643/.608 112+4 LSA, You'll need to get the PP 243 stage 1 (stock valves unmilled), stock gasket.
Custom grind LSK/XE-R lobes

2xx/2xx.....wow...way to be descriptive.
so it that 21x/21x or 24x/24x?? only a little difference...
you say peak power isn't important....but both of those are very peaky cams.
there are alot of smaller cams that will yield 450rwhp with heads and give better torque down low.
i remember comparing my dyno graph to that of Kraest's cam only (F15) graph. he made 35hp more at the wheels. but i think we were only about 10 # off in our torque.
so it that 21x/21x or 24x/24x?? only a little difference...

Sorry, but thats all the info you get out of the LG's website.
Would the 114 compared to the 112 lsa move the curve to the left giving you more down low or do i have this mixed around?
Thanks for posting the specs predator

It will beat the TV3 because of more overlap and the X3 because of the LSK lobe
(This is on same motor of course, apples to apples)
