Default Question for Texas Speed Guys

With the setup I have below, I want the Cam that is going to produce the most HP but also has the choppy idle of a 112 LSA. Can I get some help? I thought about the Magic Stick, but it is a 113 LSA. I have 1.85 RA's as shown below and I need to know if I should stick with the 1.85's or if I should go back to the 1.70's. Any advice is going to be great at this time and will probably get you a sale.

Go back with 1.7's for sure and you can get the MS3 on a 112, but I dunno if it will fit without flycut

1.7's and a Torquer V2 on a 112 will rock that ride. I make right at 500 RWHP with that cam in my ZO6.

What other supporting mods do you have? Find it hard to believe you got 500RWHP with cam only.

If you go with a 1.7 you will be able to run the Torquer v.2 or an MS3. There really isnt a huge difference in idle between a 113 and a 112. Also we are working on a few new cams that chop pretty good and make excellent power. In another thread in this section there is a video and dyno graph of our new 235/238 cam. Let me know if you have any more questions!!

kirk,don't forget that hp is NOT the only factor to base a cam on...torque may make more of a difference than hp, especially in the low to mid rpm when you cruise or just generally running down hwy. remember, hp sells the car, torque pulls it off the lot!

Are you sure? The site says that 113 and 114 are the only ones available for the MS3. Do I need to call them and find out?

A cam that big whether on a 112 or 113 is going to chop. It's not like it's gonna be stock smooth.

MS3 on the 113 will lope if that is what you are worried about. 13.5° of overlap will tell you that.

Do you have any audio of the exhaust? I would like to hear it.

I just had the Torquer V2 112 installed and had it tuned and it has a kick *** lope and excellent torque. If you pull up besides me you can definately tell it isn't stock. It also has the bad habit of throwing all your loose change from that little storage box in the shifter console to somewhere in the back seat when you hit 2nd at the track. Never did fiqure what that little compartment is for.
