mine is a little different than most tho car is a track only drift car (think road racing). i do NOT want to flycut.

engine is a 00 ls1 w/ls6 mani. i basically live at WOT and in the 4000+ rpm range so "power under the curve" is also important to me rather than just peak. my goal would be 400whp on an aggressive tune but 375ish on a solid, reliable tune. the flatter my powerband the better. i dont need 500whp to do what i do. ****, 400 is overkill.

oh yea, i want a great aggressive choppy idle too. its a nissan with a chevy v8 so it should sound like a racecar

im thinking the torquer V2 or the MS3 should get me there no problem.

opinions? suggestions?

thanks

I am in the same boat as you. I will most likely be going magic stick 3. You may also want to check out the torquer v3 or the xs 233/239 (from Texas Speed also). Here are some specs all nice and sorted:

- Texas Speed Torquer v2 - 232/234 - .595/.598 - 112 LSA
- Texas Speed Torquer v3 - 231/234 - .643"/.598" - 112 LSA
- Texas Speed XS Series - 233/239 - .595"/.603" - 112 LSA
- Texas Speed Magic Stick v3 - 237/242 - .603/.609" - 112 LSA

I am also considering the stage 2.5 5.3L heads because they can be had for only $1200 and will put you at about 450+ hp/tq at the rear wheels !

Kamin

Im gonna call TS sometime in the next couple weeks as soon as im ready to order the cam and see what they have to say, but i dont think i need heads for the relatively "low" power goals i have. 500whp in my car is pointless. **** a 400whp high strung 4cyl is pointless in the car for what i do, now im gonna have a WAY better powerband and torque on demand? **** lol i appreciate the opinions tho

Kamin

anyone else with ideas or suggestions?

No disrespect to the MS3, but it's a high rpm cam, not a mid-range, area under the curve cam. Think smaller duration and narrower LSA for this. Low 230s or high 220s for duration around 110 or 111 LSA with about 4 degrees of advance ground in. You need big mid-range torque for the drifting.

Kamin

see thats an awesome answer, exactly what i was looking for! thank you!

Yo that dude Pat knows his **** too dude... I read his posts all the time.

Kamin

ok so going off your new information, how about these

texas speed 228R - 228/228 .588/.588 112lsa (off the shelf, im sure i can have a custom grind down to 110)

Texas speed torquer v2 - 232/234 .595/.598 112lsa

Thunder Racing TR230/224-11 - 230/224 .575/.563 111 LSA

all of those should be more of a midrange cam, but still make peak power. just have a flat powerband. also near 400whp with bolt ons, correct?

thats because its from PAT...im pretty sure somewhere in translation Patrick is roman for "god of cams."

You also have the option of having a custom cam ground for YOUR needs. No need to run a off the shelf cam. Your car should be a little lighter than the average f-body and everything from gear ratio to exhaust setup and everything in between can effect the optimum cam for you.

You got it before I found this thread. That's funny that anyone would look at the MS3 and consider it good in the midrange. It's a killer top end cam. But top end is all it has.

I agree on the lower cams. What intake do you have? I keep thinking you'd be great with durations around 232/228 or something like that.

Kamin

having a virturally UNLIMITED selection of cams is totally foreign to me. my last engine, i basically has 5 choices on cams. thats it. so having hundreds is overwhelming lol. also, midrange usually sacrificed peak power so a flat powerband doesnt exist either haha.

intake or intake manifold? intake is gonna be a 90 degree elbow to 3.5" tube, about 2 feet long to open element filter AEM dry flow 9" long filter. using an ls6 intake manifold.

224/224 .609/.600 111+4 (Comp Cam custom grind)
That one will do the trick

Pat G or Predator will not steer you wrong, I'd have something custom ground for your application if I were you... the cam I have has nice under curve mid range. I have the sheet somewhere on my fquick page if you look, I also posted a thread here somewhere. Good luck.

I likey....

-no need for amonster cam in something like what you are doing.

That is DAMN close to what I have in my car, and I absolutely love it... and my car is a fat pig compared to what car your cam is going in

I have a 224/227 custom grind in my #4500 truck and it runs GREAT.... I think a high lift 224 /224 would actually be better for me though.... I got the split duration for the bottle.

i think for drift and track racing u need somthin that keep ur power always in the mid to high and good accelerate from low rpms specially when shifting or around tight corners u can consider reverse split cams as a good choise and remember BIGGER doesnt mean BETTER.

Kamin

went and found it on your fquick, hope you dont mind me posting it.



thats damn perfect for what im looking for.
