Default torquer v2 dd?

What do you guys think about daily driving a torquer v2 cam with a 114 lsa? Or do you think something like the 228r would be better.

My bro DD with a trex cam and I have driven a few times with my MS4. Not a problem with a big *** cam, so it shouldn't be a problem with a smaller cam, not that it is small but smaller compared to the trex and MS4. It is all in the tune.

The torquer v2 cam would be good to daily drive. Any cam can be a daily driver just depends on what you can tolerate. Do you mind a nice lopey idle or are you trying to keep it sounding stock? Does this car ever see the track?

V2 is fine for DD if your tuner is ok....but like scrambler said it is all in the tune my T-Rex drives like stock. I make guys go from small cams to big cams instantly, especially when I put buses on them

pretty choppy, most that want that aggressive chop go for 112 or below.

Also depends on your tune. A good tune can make a bigger cam daily driveable.

A good tuner can make the biggest cam you can get put in a LS1/LS6 with out fly cutting the pistons (TREX, by Thunder Racing) Daily Driveable but you will still have bucking below 1800rpms even with 4.10's or 4.30's. But a T2 cam wont be that bad but it will never feel exactly like stock. Anyone who says there big cam drives like stock is full of **** and are feeding themselves bullshit.

Before you pull the trigger on the V2 check out the V3. It is suppost to be some what of a revised edition to the V2. More power under the curve. And yes I'm running the V3 and yes the car talks to you!! And yes they are fine for a daily driver as long as you get a good tune. Its all in the tune.
