Agreed with the whole weight, and suspension. I just want to know the setup would be capable of it. Predator I was reading you posts about the torquer 2...I was very impressed. If I were to go with the 224/224 then I believe I will go with a nice set of z06 heads and clean em up....port them. From what my buddy says they will complement the cam well

I'm just lost ATM, and am going stall as of now....Vig 3600 is what I'm going. Just want ed opinions from everyone

Do you think that custom grind would make good power.....or better to just go torquer 2

If you want good power below the curve (useable street power):
Then a Comp XE-R 224/228, .581/.588 110+0 would be what I would use.
> PRC LS2/LS6 (243) 64 cc
> .040 gasket

This will give a SCR of 11.05 and a DCR of 8.52

You'll get mucho torque, an IVC of 42 to carry the power higher, an EVO of 44 with an overlap exhaust biased to avoid reversion.
6* overlap to give you a nice lope.

That for the street is one of the best cam heads setups since power range is a give and take relationship and this kind of combo is the most compromising.

The 232/234 is acceptable on the street but it is not what I would consider a "Street" setup, more like a "weekend Warrior" deal with another car as a DD.

When you say "mucho torque" how much are you talking about?
