Default FM14 vs. Torquer V.2

Which one should I get?

I've been researching for awhile and think I've narrowed it down between these 2.

Feel free do discuss their differences...

Wasn't my intent. But, you have to admit.......? I had a Comp Cams XER281 which has the same specs as the TII. I bet it would be hard to tell the difference between any of the three...if there is any. Comp probably grinds all three and just stabs them into different boxes.

I had the F14 and it is a great cam. There is really good torque numbers that come off the Futral cams. The area under the curve is great, and driveability is no problem when tuned correctly. I was making 423 rwhp 408 rwtq in my Z06 with just the cam and bolt ons. I changed the Ls6 heads for Dart 205s and went up to 451 rwhp 423 rwtq.

I think that just did it for me. I've been building up an iron block ls2 and I think that will be my cam of choice.

bet you would never be able to tell the difference if installed in the same motor.

MAYBE on an engine dyno where all conditions are repeated. but even then it would be splitting hairs.
