is the Tv2 cam going to "like" a 150 shot? I know that cam is a good all motor cam, will actually be going in a 6.0 but anyone have experience with that cam and say a 150 shot?

Sorry to hijack.

I was just thinking nitrous might like a little more exhaust duration.

i have a 233/239. it does not cold start well at all. i have an auto, so it's different than most of you. I know I have some tuning issues to solve. the 233/239 is actually a 232/238, so the difference is only lsa and 4 degrees of exhaust duration given both cams have same lobes. I'm not sure, but I think the torquer has lsk lobes? like i said, i'm not sure. can someone clarify? i hear lsk lobes are bad on valve springs and seats. anyway if you want dyno numbers, check the link in my sig. 233/239 .595 .603 & stg1 prc ls6 heads

LSK lobes are theoretically easier on seats, and nobody has ran one long enough to prove that spring theory. So whoever you heard that from just plain lied. Nobody knows that for a fact yet.

Are the LSK lobes any more radical or severe then XER?

233/239 here with no issues after it warms up. Sometimes when cold it will want to die as it Idles really rough for 2 minutes. My 02 Z28 Put 400rwhp and 380rwtq through an A4, with only mods being 3600 edge converter, LT's,SLP lid,y-pipe w/cats, racetronix fp, svo #30 injectors,corsa cat-back, bryan herter tuned, and only 13k miles on the odometer.

LSK has higher lift, but is easier on and off the seat. At least that's the theory I've heard.

Anyone with an auto should consider a torque coverter before even thinking about getting a cam.
