Sorry, missed that one. I'd keep it on the 111LSA on that one! It will peak about 6400rpm!

This is a very interesting topic. I currently run Patriot's 225/229 and I'm wanting some ported LS6 heads by the end of the year.. Haven't decided on Patriot or TSP heads yet... And I'm considering takin this cam out for something slightly bigger, I was thinking about the Torquer V2, and was afraid of the V3's lift, but Matt seems to think it's the way to go!... Hmmm decisions decisions

Kinda off topic, are your wheels 17s or 18s? Clean car man.

Thanks!. 18x9.5"s. I'm selling them very soon hopefully next week so I can have the C5 DD wheels , 18x10.5" rear to fit my 315 DRs

you dont need a big cam with nitrous ands your drivability will be better.gled i went with a less duration cam than what i started with.

A 243/248 .653/.648 is a small cam??

LOL x2.

Anyway man I was looking into getting those wheels in 17's, and running the 315/35/17's on them.

Hey Matt, if I order the PRC 2.5 heads, with the Torquer V3 as a heads/cam package, will you guys set up the valve springs so I don't have to touch anything? All I do is bolt the parts on and I am set?

With the ridiculous lift of the intake on the cam, is it suggested to replace the valve springs after a certain amount of time? How about the timing chain? Double roller, or what should I do for that? Thanks.

Bump.

Yes, we will set everything up so you don't have to mess with anything! With our EHT .675" lift springs and the TorquerV3 you can go about 35-40K miles without worrying about spring life or replacements. At that point, we recommend pulling them to measure the pressures and seeing what they need then. More often than not, they are still well within manufacturer's specs and are good to go for many more miles!

If you're really on a budget, the STEM Racing 215 R2's I have put down 450/423 with a cam similar in size to the torquer. Don't even have a FAST on it yet. They aren't a sponsor though so I can't give out contact information.

Sorry man, but Texas Speed has a great rep, and is only ~300 dollars more for their heads/cam build.

Also a 231/234 cam is not similar size to a 23x/24x cam.

Texas Speed all the way man. 5.3l prc heads and a 228r cam put my buddy @ 432rwhp on a ls6 intake. Patriot is also good but with the 243 patriot heads on the sam dyno with asa cam put my brother @ 385rwhp.

I actually ran the torquer v.3 cam with patriot ported 99 ls1 heads in a stalled auto andmade 400 rwhp and the car was mean. Ran 11.30-11.40s. I personally like the prc heads alot better but the patriots were on the car when I got it so I used them and was happy with the combo I am sure with prcs it would have made a little more power. I also ran a a set of PRC 2.5 5.3 heads on my 2002 ss I had with the el-toro the bull cam speced by predz with a fast 92/92 and made 448/421 to the wheels on a stalled auto. The 2.5 5.3 heads are nice pieces. Im ready now to try 2.5 ls6 heads.

Hey (Matt TSP) sent you a pm about porting and installing larger valves in my 799 casting heads can you send me a price please. Thanks..

Glad to see/read that people get the big picture

Thanks for the ups!

Have one headed back your way!

So since the lift is a good amount larger on the intake valve, do you run different springs between the two, or when you guys send the heads out you ship them with all EHT .675" lift springs on them?

With that strong of a spring, what timing chain/tensioner should I run?

Thanks.

LS6 chain will be fine and LS1's do not have tensioners except for a few 97 vette ls1's that came with them......

The higher spring pressure is harder on the lifters so get new lifters and hardened pushrods.
