I have that same cam with TSP 2.5 heads on my GTO. My car sounds and runs great! Do the trunion upgrade though.

Trunion upgrade is basically upgrading the bearings in stock rockers. It's a cheap upgrade for people that don't have the money to truly upgrade to quality roller tip rockers.

So what was the verdict on the Torquer v3? I've thought about switching from the v.2 to it but I wouldn't jump ship without supporting facts.

I went ahead and purchased the tv2 112+4 lsa today.. The extra stress on the valvetrain isnt really worth it to me.. I daily drive this car and do alot of mileage and dont want to have to swap springs that often.. Apparently the advance added in will help my cam gain the downlow torque back.. so ill just settle for that.
