Default Torquer v2 good with stock rev limiter??

I have a 2000 camaro ss M6 and i want a big cam where I don't to rev past the stock rev limiter and was thinking the torquer v2 would be one that didn't need reved up to 6700 rpm. Would this be a good cam for me? thanks

I think you need to rethink your cam priorities.

Stock rev limiter is a hinderance and all you're going to do is bounce off of it all the time. If you wish to keep a stock rev range, check out Thunder Racing's Old Man Cam or something like that.

BIG cam and STOCK limiter do NOT go together. Any cam worth while you will be bumping the limiter up.

With your 2000 model you will be safe at 6500-6600 rpms. I went 6800 on my previous 01 model, (stronger rodbolts with 01/02s) and will set my current car to 6800 as well when I install the heads/cam on/in it.

Don't be afraid to rev that car out more with a new cam and upgraded valvetrain, it's perfectly safe. Good luck!

Try 224/224, .568/.568 110 LSA +4 (106ICL)
Proven XE cam that can reach 400/400 easy with bolt ons and can be shifted low (6300).
In any case you'll need tuning and 6300 is peanuts (supersafe)

Default centerforce dual friction clutch...

the reason i didn't know if i should bump up the rev limiter is because i have a centerforce dual friction clutch and was told that i can't shift higher then 6000 rpm with it. is this true..i will rev the hell out of it if i can shift highter without problems.. is this true about centerforce?

If that is true (I doubt it), then what you should be looking at is changing your clutch instead.
Because, if that clutch can't rev above 6K, then it will not hold any more trq from a cam and it is flimzier than a stock clutch.

I've never heard about the clutch issue.
