anyone with A tsp torquer v2 cam?
Lonnie
also id like to add that as far as the HP increase your looking for i dynoed 323 on a mustang dyno with headers,tb, and ls6 intake and then put down 381 with the cam. 58hp bump aint too shabby for just a cam swap.
Had the Torquer V2 on stock heads, stock gears, M6...no issues around town. As mentioned above, a little bucking rolling at low speeds through a parking lot, but by no means a reason to not get this cam. I highly recommend it.

The 228R rpm range is 1600-6300 rpms. The Torquer V2 is 1800-6400 rpms. Of course intakes make a difference in rpm drop off as well. The 228R on a 112° LSA has a very nice muscle car type lope. Even stronger on a 110° LSA. There's quite a few videos on YouTube of all of our cams. Personally, I would choose between the 228R or the Torquer V3. But not everyone wants the aggressive lobe and lift of the Torquer V3. That's probably why the V2 was recommended.

These are the two cams I am looking at. Sounds like there isn't a huge difference in whp between the two. I plan on swapping my 241 heads to 799 so hopefully that will give me a little hp bump on top of a cam swap.
I ran this cam in my old 00 SS M6 and put down 39Xrwhp, cant remember the exact number but it was in the 390's. This was with headers/catback, udp, and an intake lid. Other than that it had 853 heads and an ls1 intake. When I did change the intake out to an LS6 one, it was trapping about 116-117, on average, with a high DA. I think I managed a 12.1 out of it with a shitty launch on drag radials. The car had 11's in it with a good launch but didnt want to risk blowing the 10 bolt so i never pushed it too hard on the track.

Sounds like it works good for you and others. Just want to make sure I make the right decision due to drivability and my car sits super low and I basically have to feather the clutch pulling in my garage or over bumps I'd hate to buck up into my garage and g et a surge and hit my toolbox

The only time it would surge was when I let off the clutch and didn't give it gas, like driving through a parking lot type of situation. Never surged while pulling into my garage or any type of parking situation. It's really all in the tune. If your tuner is good, surging should be minimal at low speeds or even non existent, depending on your set up, and not really an issue under normal driving conditions. I daily drove that car for about 2 years with that cam and never had a complaint regarding its drivability. This includes highway driving and stop and go traffic during rush hour. Like others said, don't shy away from it and go with a smaller cam then later regret not going with a larger cam. In terms of street manners, it was quite manageable for a medium sized cam.

I wouldnt want to drive anything bigger than the 228R around town, but im picky. It just depends on where you want the power.

to be honest i want the power through out the whole rpm range i dont need something that when it kicks in its like a turbo just want over all good power and needs sound good. as far as driving around town its by no means a daily driver so its not like i have to deal with it alot
I've had a V.2 in my car for the last 7 years. Nice sound and very responsive. 02 Camaro with an M6 and 4.10's. Only con is you can't lug it around under 1800 rpm's which I don't do anyway.
