Another "Help me choose thread"
hey guys, first off thanks for your time, i know there are thousands of these threads.
i got a 2002 Corvette A4.
Mods are:
LG Pro Longtubes, No Cats
B&B Bullets
Zip tie (soon to be VaraRam)
3.42 Gears
Fast 90 with LS2 intake (uninstalled)
Im going to be doing a head/cam soon, and can decide between the Magic Stick 4 or the Torquer 3. I LOVE the sound of choppy cams *like the Trex* . I work from home, and only use my car for going to the gym or going to a friends house and the occasional short cruise.
Im getting the PRC LS6 heads with the competition valve job.
I dont want to run to high of a stall (less than 4000). i had a TCI Streetfighter in a trans am and didnt care for it, it was to loose. I've been told that a Yank or Vig you can run a high stall *3600-4400* and they are still tight like a factory convertor, TRue???
i also dont want my car cutting off at redlights, which shouldnt be a problem cause i have a good tuner.
so which cam do you guys think would be best for my application?? MS4 or TQ3??

really?!?!? thats great news
i always thought Trex needed 4.10's or maybe even 4.30's
i thought i was pretty much set on the G5X3, i might now have to do some research on the Rex

You might have a bucking issue at the most, but I would only do a T-rex if you are wanting high horsepower and lower tq. So it is streetable if you want to put up with it. I DD a 244/248 cam which streetwise has some T-rex manners. It really does need a taller gear to be honest with you. I would atleast run a 4000 stall in it.
Why not a custom grind? Any reason you want a larger cam?
I understand for the most part why, but You might be able to do so much better just by calling a sponsor and finding out what would work best with your planned setup. A Cam will determine everything....just think about it and get lots of opinions and if possible drive some cars that have similar setups. that will help you pick too.

well i have to be honest. a good part is i want that super choppy sound.
i also want to be as fast as i can for as cheap as i can. i'd like to be in the low 11's high 10's without N20
the lack or low end torque should be fixed by that 4K plus stall right???
