Torquer 2 would be my choice.

Imo, its the perfect size for a dd and all around. Op already said he doesnt wanna wish he could have gone slightly bigger. That would be the biggest i would run even though i run the TSP 233/239..lol

Thanks still mostly thinking about the TV2, I feel like there is no point in going smaller in a m6, I never race from 2k rpms anyway so I dont see where a smaller cam would outshine a bigger one

230/232? Hmm that seems like another viable option for me. Its right in between the 2

I just dont understand why people say smaller cams are better for the 1/8th mile? As long as you don't go below your cam's power curve it should be fine right? I mean if I don't go below 3500 in a 232/232 cam and a 224/224, the larger should give better results normally correct?

Yes this is correct assuming the car is setup right to take advantage of the larger cam

Easy solution right here an you have the exact same cam; plus it's only $350!

That TICK cam I referred to uses LSL lobes on the regular version, and LXL lobes on the mild version. Pick you lobes (LSL, LXL, or a combination of the two) and then put in the 111 LSA and the 109 ICL (+2). My suggestion would be to go with the 231 LSL intake lobes and the 234 LXL exhaust lobes. This would cut down the total lift, and have a quieter valvetrain.
