I am going to put a cam in 01 SS M6. My car has pipes and a air lid. I want to put a cam in it i was thinking about the Torquer V3. Any comments or suggestions. Thanks

brian_rs/ss

the v3 is pretty big for stock heads IMO. i would go with something more under the curve. custom is always best but i went with a 224r. the 228r and tq v2 are also real good choices for off the shelf.

Depends on how big you wanna go.. I went with the TSP Tsunami, yes it's a big cam, but I figure go big or go home! I would rec. either the V2 or V3 or possibly the 224 or 228r! Good luck with your choice n let us know what u choose to do!

do you have headers at least? If you do that is a pretty good cam i would not want to go much bigger unless you want to get gears also.

I have LPP long tubes and mid pipe. Borla Cat back. Factory LS6 Intake manifold. And I was going to go with a set of gears as well.

if you are stock heads/intake then stay away from anything that has v3 or stg 3 in the name....

if you get to big of a cam you better plan on buying some injectors, valve springs, pushrods, retainers, and locks. It also wouldn't hurt to do a timing chain.

And Lifters depending on how many miles are on his car (100k+). (Btw, Sig. is awsome!)

To the OP if your buying a Cam Kit, it should include everything you need, except timing chain / oil pump. But "best" cam would be custom grind.

Thanks! Oh yah, I forgot about the lifters. Thats a given to me, I always replace stock or dated ones.

Np.

OP if you get lifters I would recommend LS7 lifters. There not pricey and there good for what your looking to do. That is IF you buy them. Good Luck!

here is the specs on the cam
TSP Torquer V3-231/234 .643"/.598" 111 LSA

that is not huge and it will work well with stock heads

wont you have to fly cut the pistons with a .643 lift?

How about telling us how much power you wanna make, is this a DD, what are the plans for the car in the future, have you ever had a cammed car before, have you done any research at all, etc. ?

I feel like I need to save that in a Wordpad document for all these people that start threads like "what cam should I get", so I can just copy and paste the **** in every one.

Its like going to the bar and asking " whats the best drink you got ? " Everyones answers are going to be different.

The car is not my DD. It has 45k miles on it. I want agressive street car that i can have some fun at the track with. I also take the car a couple long drives each year about 300 miles from point A to B on the longer trips. I would like to try to break 11's with the car. When i called Texas speed they said if i go with the 111 lobe separation i will not have to fly cut the pistons.

with a good clutch and suspension parts a 228r will get you in the 11s.

Get the T-Rex cam!!! Kidding, the 228R from what i hear is an awesome cam. Everyone has always said good things about it. I kind of wish i would have gone with that cam now but o well. Im running the Cheater V3 cam now and its a nice cam but i feel like i could have went bigger without any loss in drivability.

The only reason i went cheater is because no one around here can tune for **** and im not driving a car un tuned.

So if i can give any great advice it is make sure you know who you will have tune it and make sure they know what they are doing.

ive got a friend with the same set up as me but a 228r and slightly ported heads and he is making 412 rwhp. same driveability as my 224r.
