Default Torquer 2 or 3 Cam

I am going to purchase the terminator heads, Fast 90 intake and 90 NW T/B. With this combination, which would be the best cam to get for the street and track--the torquer 2 or 3? Of course I want the most power for the track, but yet drive to other places. This is not a daily driver but weekend car once or twice a month. Any other cam recommendations? Any assistance is appreciated.

MS4 won't fit without flycutting with the Terminator 200 heads. TRMN8OR fit a MS3 under them with a 90/90 and made almost 500rwhp

Excellent numbers. How are the manners of the torquer 2 cam on the street? How much more HP would the torquer 3 cam make or what are your thoughts on it?

better heads, yes. I don't know what your price range is, but the top of line heads are the AFR's hands down.

Originally was going to get the AFR 205 heads but a representative of a vendor indicated that the new eldebrock heads outperformed the AFR's on a dyno. I also read a magazine article where the eldebrock heads generated 50 horsepower.
