On the other hand, how much will I be loosing from the additional overlap of the torquemax if I run it with a turbo down the road?
If you go with the Stage 2 turbo cam it will for sure still make 40-50rwhp more than it did with the stock camshaft. I've never used the LS2 Stage 2 turbo cam N/A so I can't say for sure what the power curve would look like though.

It will depend on which SC cam you go with.

When i spoke with Martin over the phone, i told him my setup (stock ls1, street car, stalled auto, 7875 turbo) he recommended that i get this cam, the Stage 2 LS2 cam. I didn't know the difference between the LS1/LS6 and the LS2 cam at the time so I'm hoping this is the better choice cam for my setup?? Any info Martin?
I wouldn't of recommended it had it not been perfect for your set up.

Im running a 5.3 with a215/215 112lsa and a tc78 1.15 AR . Im going to swap turbos regardless to either borg warner 75/83 or the new Tnetics unit. Question is how bad is my current cam hurting me with my current turbo. Im sure back pressure is ridiculous! Currently has ran 128mph with 9psi and is now on 14.5psi and feels like 134-136. Goal is 140+

There is definite room for improvement with a larger cam for sure. I would swap turbos first then decide if you want to put a different cam in it.

Wow I appreciate your honesty! Now do you think a bw 75/83 will make more beans then a tnetics 78/75? I will probly come out a little cheaper doing the bw once I take the new downpipe ill need to have fabbed up

Just looking at what each turbo is suppose to be capable of producing, the BW 75mm wheel flows more air than the Turbonetics does so yes I do think it will make more steam. Not much, but I do think it will make more.
