voted el torro although im going with the v3 myself i've really only seen chris make the big numbers with it although i know he's cam only and i really havent seen el torro with heads which is what im going with so it really depends what your doing h/c and i think if your an auto it makes a big difference as well "stall" what size your runnig makes a difference as well

i would say they probably are about even...if you already have a tq 3 i would just stick with that not worth the switch...now if you want to make it a dedicated track car and are willing to lose some driveability and do the other proper mods to get the power out of the cam...i say go with the polluter, ms4, or the Trex v2...all max effort track cams...otherwise just thow on a good set of heads and you are set...

390 through a m6? seems kinda low but they never work out like others say what are other mods? idk if it would be worth it to have somebody do the work if your paying the money but if your doing the work i would say go for it and im sure you wont have a very hard time seeling that v3 on here

Do not overcam just to win a race or even multiple races. Purchase the right cam such as a proven moderate sized cam and if you want to win races spray it or blow it.

agreed its way to close between the two to change them out wouldn't be worth the time i say stay with the v3 and spend your money else where

Yes 417 on heavy *** tires an wheels. wheels alone are 24#'s each which cost me. Cats too but that is why I run 4* more dration on exhaust.

Ran 4 12.04 to .09's would have made a great bracket car but damn I wanna run 11's.

I will soon but I should not still be fretting with it dogonnit.

Either one would be great cams. Although, I don't know if I would expect Chris' numbers... (with either cam)

He has one of those factory freak motors. 116mph with a stalled Auto and only Bolt-Ons is freaking insane!!!!!!

Not factory freak. Well built car and good driver. He does every mod the RIGHT way and it adds up. That and some insane air. Doing the same things as chris and few others have. My bolt on setup has beat both the cam only cars i raced from a dig.
