Ordered a Torquer V2! Just finished ordering a torquer v2 cam from Texas Speed. Since I'm on a budget, I just got the cam by itself. I know I will be needing pushrods and springs, so here comes my first question; Which springs would I want to go with? Beehive or Double? Can I reuse the factory spring seat/retainers? Moving on to the pushrods, do I order the 7.4s?
This will be going in a 01 6spd SS w/full exhaust, lid, stock engine, tranny, and rear.
Thanks. -Luis

go with pac 1518 beehives. you can reuse your stock locks, retainers and seals with these. they are also one of the best beehive springs out there. you should measure for pushrod length, but if i had to guess 7.4" - 7.425".
The new comp 918's beehives should work fine, good for .625 lift.. only $169 from TS.,Stock retainers, seats and keepers will work. might want to put some new umbrella seals on her, theyre cheap enuff and good security, 7.4 pushrods should be fine with stock heads.. I am just about to put the same cam in my A4 firehawk, Good luck!!

V2 can run beehives, v3. requires dual springs
^^^Do you really think there is discernable difference between the two? I really don't see how .050" lift can change much...besides what springs it needs...

use comp 918s or if u want go with the pac 1518 springs and with stock heads u should go with comp 7.4s. my friends trans am made almost 440 rwhp with a torquer v2, hand ported 243's milled .015 ls6 intake 3:73s and a 3400 stall

Appreciate the comments guys, I was aware the package deal is actually less expensive, but had to take care of some bills, and only had x amount to play with, plus I didnt want to wait another 2 weeks 
Still have some time to make up my mind and order the springs/pushrods. Thanks again!

Are you comparing 2 cams apple to apple?
Better yet, let us give it another twist! How about "does increase in overlap alone, increase horsepower/Trq?"
What makes it BETTER?

Do yourself a favor replaxe your stock seals if your going to use stock heads. I got this cam which us really nice by the way but left stock valve seals and now im burning oil with the new hp oil pump. This may be a hit or miss thing but just change the seals while your in there.
TSP told me the same thing on the phone when ordering my H/C package. The V3 is on the LSX lobes and it will make more power everywhere over the V2. I have the V3 and if it were my DD I would have gotten the V2, but it's great for a weekend car.
