Default Please comment on my new setup!

Hey there techies! I've recently made a purchase for my cam project and would like everyone's thoughts and opinions about my setup. I have a 2000 Z28 M6 w/ LS6 intake, (race)PS LT's ORY, Ecutout, magnaflow catback, and 4:10s. My car is not a daily driver but will see 98% street time and an occasional run down the 1/4. I've just ordered TSP's torquer v2 on a 112 LSA with their cam package (918's, chromoly pushrods). I also ordered TSP's ported LS6 oil pump, LS2 timing chain, ASP pulley, 180` therm, and an install kit. I will have the car tuned in the next few months @ RPM in Garner, NC. Any comments, opinions, and speculations good or bad will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

^ I agree.

Get ready to have some fun that Torquer and the 4.10s are going to work great together. If your installing everything hang on cause that oil pick-up tube bolt is a bitch to put back on, but don't worry it does go back on.

That was one of the most frustrating parts. Ratcheting wrenches will save your life.

I've seen about 12 cars with cutouts dyno, and from any RPM where you'd even want the additional torque I've seen no problems from them. Where did you see this happen that was significant enough to even mention? Heck, even more than that, why WOULD it hurt torque? If you put it in the Y-pipe at the rear seat "dip", it robs no scavenging at all.

yes, the cutout is in the rear seat relief. I just use it as a noise maker really. What made you decide on the 232/232 110+3 setup?
