Cam help, TSP Torquer V.2, V.3 or MS3??? Which would be the best for midrange and upper power?? What about low end and midrange?? What would you get and why, I have the V.2 on order BUT its going to take at least a week so if I change my mind I can call them, I dont want to be dissapointed with the v.2

I think I am going to call them and chage it from the V.2 (232/234 .595 .598 112 LSA) to tsp 233/239 .595 .603 112 lsa, does that sound good, i want more midrange to upper power than lower to midrange power.
*EDIT* Just called a got the tsp 233/239 cam instead, I figure it will give better midrange and upper power than the V.2

i say get the 233/239 on a 112, but on a 113 its not going to be that much different, i believe there 112 lsa is also ground advanced 2 degrees which is going to help midrange a little, i think they grind the 113 with 0 advance in it which would be slightly better for peak power

233/239 on a 112 is a really good cam, I have a 232/236 112 and it is very street friendly and pulls real good through the mid range and really good up top. Down low it drives just like a stock cam car with the exception of the idle, just a little bit lopey.

If you drive the car on the street a lot it is a really good cam. I love it. A 233/239 is close to it.
Actually had i known it would be so streetable I probably would have bought another bigger cam.

233/239 on a 112 is what I have. I made 406rwhp through the 9", should project 415-420 on a 10bolt. Here's a compilation video of some runs from our local track, the first run in the video is my buddy in the red TA with a 232/236 112lsa and roughly .560 lift cam and he has the TSP true duals. Mine is the blue trans with the 233/239 112lsa with borla exhaust. There is another run of me and a black mustang closer to the end of the video:

Well hell you can't even hear the idle in the video, you can hear my buddies idle but not mine. Do a search there are a couple 233/239 guys on here with idle videos, i've heard a few of them.

They all work via your laptop. Read some of the stickies in the tuning forum here to learn the tuning basics, its fun to learn.

I am just too lazy to do calculations anymore, the newer tuners have all kinds of neat functions in them that take a lot of guesswork out of tuning.
