Default have you seen my torque?........

right now i am running a tsp 233/233, "torquer my ***" for some reason i have really low torque for this cam (330rwtq) i am thinking it is because i still have the LS1 intake, but how much more torque can the LS6 actually make? Will a good set of HEADS pretty much help me, and if so, which ones, I like the AFR 205's, but i also hear alot about the PRC's, and the TEA's, I am certainly open for opinions on these heads, and what i can possibly do to make some torque..............

It's something other than the intake. I ran the MS3 on the LS1 intake and gained a ton of hp with the LS6, but very little torque.

You should have considerably more power. Sounds like you need a great Tuner. I would think that you may see 370-400 RWHP with this cam and no heads.

Who did the LS1 edit tuning? Can you post a graph? What RPM do the torque and power peak at? What is the air fuel ratio, and does it vary or stay about the same? The horsepower isn't too bad for being a stalled auto and LS1 intake manifold. Those heavy wheels might take a little away too.

Well I cant find my dynograph anywhere, i just remember having the torque being flat through out the graph. i had it tuned at REV Extreme in Tampa, great group of guys, the car runs and feels great............but now that i think about it there was something up with my fuel and air ratio, will have to look into that..............

I'd say that's definately jumping the gun, and probably won't help unless it's in the tune and is fixed when retuning for the new cam, or in the installtion of the cam.

Speaking of which, did you install the cam yourself? Did you degree it, and could it be a tooth off?

On the dyno was your convertor locked or unlocked. The only way you will get true numbers with a automatic is if the convertor is locked.

no i had a performance shop here in miami do it for me, looks like i might have to check it for myself, i hope that is the case, i will get the car retuned after i get the TBported and a LS6 intake installed. Thanks for the advice guys.....

Yeah, something is definitely going on. I pulled the numbers in my sig with the same cam untuned, though unlike you I did have an LS6 intake. "Torquer" is kind of a misnomer, as from what I've seen of the posted numbers (and from my own experience) it really doesn't make any more torque than any other cam of similar specs. That being said, I would definitely expect your torque numbers to be higher, even without an LS6 intake. Definitely look at the tune, especially since you mention something being up with the AFR. Without looking at the dyno graph, I would also say that your torque curve should not be flat as you describe, not with an LS1 and a cam the size of the Torquer.
