I have a torquer v2 with stock heads. I called tsp a few times this winter when I planned the cam swap. Dynoed yesterday and it put down EXACTLY what tsp said it would do. Props to those guys, give them a call and take their word!

With the stall you have i would run the torquer 2. Ms3 needs big stall and or lots of gear 4.11 or both.

Agreed. I would say the torquer 2 is the biggest you should consider running due to your stall size.

I am with guys above...

ms3 will suck with your stall and gear. You could actually use a little more stall with a tv2 even. I am on a VERY close cam and I know I would have picked up on a 4k stall over my SS3600.....
