I don't wanna stay with the 241 heads. I think it'd be a waste of money to get them ported and done up. My plan was to get the 243/799 heads and get a valve job and some port work done. I can't go crazy because I don't have a ton of money but I am fairly certain that if I get some mild port work and a valve job I would exceed the performance of a set of fully ported 241s. And it would make it a whole lot easier to do a head and cam swap all at once rather than pull off my 241s and send them out. Just my .02

After talking with Aaron from Texas Speed I think I'm gonna go with the 233/239 cam on 112 with a set of 243/799 heads. That should definatly hit the numbers I'm looking for.

I'd get the 241's done up, but that's just my opinion. Advanced Inductions ftw. Heads are not the area you go cheap!

I can get a good deal on the heads and I'm not getting them all out full ported but even a little bit of porting and a valve job would still be a few hundred under the $1000 plus that it'd take to do the 241's. And like I said I wanna do this all relatively quick, so I won't have time to pull off the 241s and send them out for a couple weeks and its certainly not worth buying another set to me..

How streetable is the Torquer V3? Is there any kind of significant power gain over the 233/239 cam? Im dead set on the 243/799 heads. i already have a set of 317's but im trying to sell or trade for some 243s or 799s

I'm going to stick with the TSP 233/239 112lsa cam. After talking to Aaron at Texas Speed comparing that cam to the Torquer V3 he said the 233/239 cam will make more power.
