Default Feedback on polluter v2

Ok, I was thinking about keeping my torquer v2 but the more I hear the polluter v2 the more I love the sound of it, thinking about doing a 383 should I keep that v2 in or would I benefit from the polluter? Mind twisted on what I should do the v2 only has 250-300 miles on it what do you guys think?

On a 383 I think you should go a bit more aggressive than either of those cams

Yeah something like a M3 or M4 would be better IMO. Case in point: I just went with a TMS 370ci LQ9 with a custom cam that's very similar to a M3, and on a bigger cubic inch motor like this it actually drives better than my Torquer V2 on the old LS1 setup. Point being is that the larger cubic inch of the 383 will take a larger cam much better while still maintaining good driveability. Just a thought...

I think your best bet is to call some of the big name vendors on here that specialize in this. I really like my TMS cam (much better than my Torquer V2) but maybe i'd like something else better...who knows lol. With something as nice and cool as as that 383, a custom grind may be your best bet as well.

I would talk to Martin at Tick Performance. The Polluter would probably work for you. The Torquer is a little small for a stroker.

Please would you quit saying 'I like the way it sounds'
You do not need huge durations, if you like sound and power you need overlap and that is not only done by increasing durations!

I just went with a TMS 370ci LQ9 with a custom cam that's very similar to a M3

I'm not sure what tick has bigger then the polluter v2. I'd read he has a stroker line of cams. I think the v2 would be a good can for you
