Default Pick between these two h/c combos

Alright I have finally narrowed my h/c combo down to two. First is TSP 5.3 2.5's with a Torquer 3. Seems to be a very proven dyno combo, but I can't seem to find alot of track times with it. Second choice is TEA stage 1.5 5.3's with a MTI X1 cam. Both are also very proven on the dyno and the track. I am looking for some real world experience from you guys that might be running either one of these combos or just want to offer your opinion. My goal for the car is to have a weekend driven, stock trim mid 11 second car. My mods are in my sig. I will be doing Pacesetters and a pulley with the swap as well.

I'd vote for the first package simply because I've ran TSP products for a while now and they've worked great for me. Good reliable products that make good power.

Customer service is top notch as well. I can't imagine dealing with a better group of people.

Good luck!
