Think ive decided on the Torquer V.2, but what lsa?
just trying to figure out exactly what i should get with this cam package.
What lsa should i get with this Torquer V.2 cam, and should i get the optional PRC .675" lift EHT spring kit or stick with the standard PRC platinum spring kit. Just dont want to have to worry about anything breaking, i DD the car.
Im planning on getting the GM Head and Camshaft bolt and gaskit kit as well....anything im missing?

112LSA +4 advance will give you more low rpm torque while still maintaining top-end power.

I run the PAC 1518 single beehive springs. I'm giving up a little protection but they have an outstanding track record and I have less valvetrain weight.
Good choice with the 112 also, that's what I'm running.
Do yourself a favor and pick up a longer bolt for the crank install, it's really not optional. M16x2.0 x 120mm is what you want to pull the pulley on. Valve seals would be a good idea also since you're in there and they're very cheap.
Get a decent valvespring tool, I bought the tims tool and it worked well, it was just a little time consuming.
Get a 5/16 dowel rod for the lifters on the driverside, maybe a size smaller for the passenger side but be prepared to grind it down... I think that covers it. Loctite too...
I just recently did this and the cam job is pretty straight forward, just take your time (If you've never done it before). Oh, and I don't recommend the top dead center method, get an air hose adapter to pressurize the cylinder when changing springs, it makes it a LOT easier.

I'm considering this cam also but have concerns about the daily driveability and tuneability. The 3 cars I heard recently with this cam did not idle very well and all seemed to be hunting for idle. I really wouldn't want to give up any of the low end torque the stock cam has, and I definitely wouldn't want to have a cam that bucks and surges at low speeds or cruising in 6th gear.

DO NOT USE A LONGER BOLT GET THE PROPER TOOL IT IS NOT WORTH THE RISK.
