Default torquer 2 vs torquer 3

Okay so, the v3 is a bigger cam than the v2,its harder on the motor but it makes more power,my tuner said you gain more with the v2 down low.however,tsp told me that the v3 is although a bigger cam,it provides better low and obviously better top...
What do u guys think?
Ittl be a cam only with full bolt ons,so to be exact ill have dynatech longtubes,hooker super comp catback,hi flow cats<which ill drop for the cam ported tb,volant lid,stg 2 act, hooker
And ill go with the v3 cam package from tsp

The only thing I would be afraid of is that insane lift on the V3. At 7000 RPMs, I am happy my lift is only ~.600" Just my own personal opinion/enjoy that peace of mind.

I would never go past 62-6400 on (purpose)the v3 tho or at least what tsp claims is it goes to 66 I think?

I know that the lift is scary man but for the power then to put some ported and milled 243$ I think it would be fine...right?

I run the Torquer 2 and love it. My biggest worry would be the increased wear on the valve springs. Other than that the the V3 is slightly better IMO

Yep, there is always a trade off lol BTW, for whatever it's worth, with my heads and a LS6 intake I peak around 6300 rpm, but it holds completely flat until 6800 where the rev limiter kicks in

Ey! mi boricua mi hermano!!

its definately a tough decision considering the specs TQ2 (232/244 .595/.598)
VS
TQ3 (231/234 .643/.598)

Personally, (and you know where i stand on this) i would go with the v3 because TSP made it as an IMPROVEMENT over the v2.. but its tough to call because of the high lift. BUT, to me it would be worth it.

What ever you decide, i think you'll be satisfied

Trust me man, as im sitting right now, I wish i could go back and gone with the v3 if not bigger (obviously because i got bigger heads/intake ect) ..

BUT if you want a little bit more reliability, go v2.. i still love this cam forsure. Im just saying you can also make more power going otherwise (bigger) if you want too

DO IT! lol

So with a cam only setup the v2 would be better, however for what I'm trying to do, a v3 would be better,cause the heads and intake....btw,a buddy of mine cut the tb mounting bracket and plastic welded the ls3 on it....claimed it to be the Walmart version of a fast lol

What r u gonna do when my whip is faster than yours lude

depends how you look at it. As far as TSP is conserned, the v3 is better all around. As for top end, im sure the v3 takes it hands down.

haha wtf?! lol

Stock rocker geometry deminishes past .630 lift, just something you should consider.
