Good for what? What are your goals? You would need a different stall w/ it.

Torquer 2 is a good cam. You would probably need a bit more stall though. The Torquer 2 is a 232/234. so its a nice good size cam. I probably wouldnt really go any bigger than that.

I daily drove a cam-only car with that cam for the better part of a year and had zero problems with it. Consistently went 11.83 with a 6 speed full weight car.

Thanks everyone for the fast responds. By good I mean good size with good results for cam only LS1 , I can sacrifice some drivability for choppy idle
One of my friends offered me a patriot cam 225/229 I don’t know I feel it’s more for DD car than a weekend car
Please advice from your experience

if drivability isn't an issue for you i would go bigger. i feel the cam is a good dd cam and is good for stock heads. i also chose this cam because of i wouldn't have to spin to the moon (98 rod bolts). if it was my car i would go with a decent sized cam and stall (3600+ and equal or bigger cam).

i have never rode in a cammed car. i have the MTI X1 230/227 and a vig 3200 stall. my car is just a daily driver, street car. I honestly could go bigger with the cam and stall. i would suggest going with the Torquer 2 cam. and atleast a 3800 stall.

If you step in stall a little bit any of the cams mentioned here will work well on the street. It just depends how big of a cam you want. Also remember tuning has a lot to do with the driveability as well.

Torquer v2 is a good cam for a weekwnd car, you don't have to go any bigger since there isn't much more to gain and the 241s become the limiting factor. I would also do a ss3600 yank stall with that cam.

+1 on a Yank SS3600. Had one in my Camaro and loved it. That stall with either a TV2 or even the Vengeance Racing VRX3 or 4 would be a nice street set up with great driveability and make great power.

Most of the guys on here had some good results with that cam. Go with it and since you have a TH350 , put a Yank or even a TCI 4000 to 4500 converter in her and let'er rip !!
