Cam question
Cam question Torquer V2 with a 112 lsa
or
G5x2 with a 114 lsa
Mods in the sig, but quickly for those on cell phones: Livernois Stg 2 243s, Fast 90/NW 92, "Svede" OTR, Kooks, Corsa, and I plan on a SD tune.
Did I miss anything? Oh it's thru a M6.
I want something with a smooth idle and I know the 114 would be better but the 112 isn't far off, so I'm wondering which will be better from 2500-5500 rpm. Dyno numbers aren't a big deal, real street power is, but I do NOT want to be pulling up to my daughters school at 7am with a choppy, loud idle. It's a DD if you didn't get the reference. If the a higher lobe like a 114 is the only way to get a smooth(stock like idle) then I'll go that route and maybe get a custom cam cut.
Thanks in advance.

Is there any performance gain? My car is quiet enough to get through the dropoff lane without causing a commotion when I baby her.
With a fatty like the GTO (I say this as the owner of a 4000lbs pig myself), you will need some overlap to motivate her at lower rpms.
Talk to a someone like Martin at Tick or Ed Curits at FTI. They will steer you to the right cam. Then put a resonated X-pipe on your exhaust and e-cutouts.

Verdad Gallardo Well, yeah. I would worry about overlap if you're really concerned about driveability. But if that's not a big issue for you, and you are rather worried about the sound/volume, then take care of your exhaust first. You can get it really quiet with the right exhaust setup. Then you can cam the car for what your needs are.

I'm going to shoot him a email. I already reached out CompleteStreetPerformance because they have done good work with GTOs as well. CSP agreed with most of the guys I've talked to that a intake duration starting in the 227-232 range with a big lobe would be needed for good street manners. So I'll see what Ed has to say.

IMO, the EPS TT2 cam would be a good choice, along with the Tick Street Heat Stage 1.

You're not going to get "stock like idle" from either one of those cams even with a 118 lsa, an then the power band would be high as hell so it would totally suck a DD. You need to be looking a lot smaller cams with at least some negative overlap.
