ms3 here, i get so tired of hearing OMG the ms3 is such a big cam you have to spin it to the sky to make power. that is such bs my auto shifts at 6400 and you better hold on to your shorts. also who cares about low end power, when you race you want your car at the least rpm right, wrong!

If you look at the other cars youll see, its not the tune, its the dyno. Infact many of those cars had dyno'd previously at vette doctors and pulled 20 to 30 HP higher, or even more. I pride myself on my tune, and while I dont tune professionally, I help a fair share of people out with theirs. My afr was rock solid 13.0:1 the whole way across, 28* timing, 0 KR, Open Loop MAF tune. The guys who know my car will tell you my tune was spot on.

Between the 2, it sounds like the Torquer is more along the lines of what you're looking for. Good luck with your choice.

i run the tv2 in my 11.1 LQ9 and let me tell you this. it sounds freaking mean. under 1600 rpms i get a good bit of bucking this is also with 410s and 3800 stall. thats also if im in 4th around 40. i will say i have my shift points at 6500 rpms and let me tell yo uthis it freaking pulls and pulls strong. they said this is to much cam for a truck, someone was sure lying. i guess with the added stall/gears and SCR it made a world of difference. it simply destroys the tires from a roll a dig is a joke, just part throttle it breaks the loose and like i said at idle its mean sounding
