Damn the bill just racks up higher and higher,I have an ls6 block so I wonder if it has an ls6 oil pump...port that and get a double roller t.c.
Does anyone live by Charleston that would help!? Labor on cam and springs is 1700 plus 150 for the tune

Then a cam like what I said would work much better. You want usable, explosive torque in the 2500-6000 range. Cams like what I said would do it. Both would drive decent too, with the 223 being more mellow. Both would chop good.

Cam swap is far from cheap if I would have known I would have went fi but its not that bad with all the right tools and patients...

I'm running efilive w/ speed density, I don't think it will surge,tuner is top notch
Why tsunami?
How streetable is that?
I want a cam that has the best useable power not the nothing nothing nothing holy **** power...

My tuner said that the v2 will probably beat the v3 in the quarter mile....

I'm just curious, are you looking at running the same LSA with either cam? If so the major difference between the two will be the higher lift, and the slightly longer duration of the V3. With that said, purely from a all out performance standpoint, the V3 should produce a tad better quarter mile time

camaroboiss

So if I get the v2 with the same duration then I'll be able to get away from that scary lift.

Stock rockers won't hold up long to that high lift

I do believe anything pass .630 you may want to consider aftermarket rockers.. if you go with the v2 you can do the comp trunion upgrade

Plus 1 .. been thinking about that myself

yeah its the high lift that scares most people away from the v3. but if you got the extra cash for the supporting mods. do it

camaroboiss

No doubt bro,I don't think tsp offers a total package like this for a deal.fml

I'd go with the V2 Unless your heads can really benefit from the higher lift of the v3 intake lobes and your going to go with roller rockers. Now if you're willing to a slightly compromise I'd go with a 231(lsl.617")/234(lxl.612") 111lsa+3, you'd have lower lift and better valve spring life then the v3, and performance on par with it.
BTW, I believe Tick performance now has this cam as a regular grind.

will do bro

LOL @ the people saying the V3 has too much lift for a street car. I've ran the V3 for almost 2 years and it drives very well on the street. My 74k mile rockers are holding up just fine also.

OP, don't be scared of the V3. It has been shown to make some awesome power with a set of TSP's budget 5.3 or LS6 heads, as referenced by the guy with the SOM car in this thread and here: https://ls1tech.com/forums/dynamomet...fast-90-a.html.

Im with T AM on this, I DD a v3 and it drives great. My car has the comp trunion upgrade and I haven't had any problems with the rockers. Personally I think there are alot better cams out there that can make more power and would be easier on the vavletrain. If your willing to use another cam, I'd give Martin @ TICK a call and he'll setup you up with a cam that'd make you happy. If your stuck on the V3 and V2 then go with the v3.

I agree with this guy. I know a couple people who have run this cam for years without issues. One guy daily drives his V3. They run the stock rockers with trunion upgrade. It's a nice cam that makes good power. I run a 224R myself and have beat some V3 cars in a race and lost to others. But there are other factors that come into play.

I can say with equal mods the V3 sounds way meaner than my 224R. I thought about swapping to either a V2 or V3 but I don't think it would make a drastic difference for the amount of work involved for maybe an additional 10hp or so.

Call around bro ask what's recommend for high lift, I'm buying a 6.0 with ms4 I've called around done and most recommend rollers, said I didn't have to but its recommended just like when you change your cam you don't have to change springs oil pump and supporting mods but its highly recommended

I don't know if I'd go Tsunami exactly....just something bigger, but it's not my DD either. V3 can be made very streetable with no surge at all and drive great, but there will be no mistaking you have a cam in it either. I doubt the V2 would beat the V3 all things equal since the V3 was made to outperform it's predecessor.

There are probably better cams out there, I don't know this is my first cam swap. But the V3 is not too much for a street cam.

I get the lsl and lxl mixed up as to which one is the "exhaust" lobe but if the above is correct there then I agree 100%. And the best part is TSP's custom cam generator will let you spec that cam out and include it in their packages so they still get the sale since you wanted to order from them. That cam would be very similar to the common EPS grinds that Pat G has been spec'cing out and everyone who has one loves it and they make great power. The main difference is the use of the LSL lobe on intake instead of the EPS lobe.



I'm not saying the high lift can't "work" but there is no reason for it on stock heads and the power gain it might get isn't worth the risk of damage to springs and rockers.

camaroboiss

Tuning and driver probably plays a big role in beating v3 cars.
So with the trunion upgrade I can get out of rockers?
