Default need some input on a cam

ok ive searched torquer v2 and eltorro cam.im wanting something you can hear and something you dont have to spin to 7k i want tourque at 2500 not 4000.i ive heard a sound clip on the torquer on a 110 lsa and it sounded awsome,but so does the torro.i also dont want a high lift like the torquer 3 because i drive my car and i dont want to change my springs every 20k.what would you pick?i also have a 100 shot of n2o.i drive my car on the weekends mostly.

ive searched the 228 and seems like 80% of people say (i should of went bigger).
i may have to get a custom spec,does anyone have a dyno graph of a el torro? i want to see how smooth the torque and hp looks and where the curves are.

Those two cams are so close what it makes will really depend on the health of your motor not the cam IMO. They both run X-ER exhaust lobes but the intake lobe is different on Pred z's El torro being an XFI. If you were running more no2 i would say go with some exhaust bias and a wider split but a 100 shot shoudn't mean much... FWIW a 110 will also be tighter on PTV so if you are stock bottom consider that too and look at a 111+2.... Search chrs1313 on here for El torro info...

His car has also been lightened, and is a very well put together combo. And he is running a good converter which means his launches are very good.
