Default what would you do? TS torquer v2 or v3? 02 LS1

Im looking to get a cam put in ... 112 lsa. but do i go with the torquer V2 or V3???

Tell me and your reason. I was initally going with the V2 but now I read the V3 has lower RPM gains. IDK!

All i'm doing to the car is a cam with headers and true dual exhaust w/no cats.


I have an 02 camaro ss with 28k miles and still stock ls1.

I ended up finding this link.. so pretty much my questions are answered. I think im going with the v2 since im not looking to maintain my springs constantly and v2 seems like its an all around great cam.

I put the V3 in my '06 GTO, along with PRC's 2.5 cnc ported heads and Kooks long tubes no cats. I like the cam, sounds great. They dyno sheet shows that it comes on around 2500, but I don't really feel it in my pants until 3500. The V3 idles nicely and has some "lopey" idle, which sounds great thru my Borla's XR-1's

I went with a V2 in my setup to keep valvetrain wear down and also to make sure I dont have to worry about PTV clearance. I like to drive alot and take long trips so I needed something thats not going to kill my valvesprings every 3 months.

Both are nasty, but I favor the v2 because of the reasons listed above.
