Torquer v3 too small for 402 ls2? I just ordered a 402 shortblock. I am going to reuse my ls1 heads until i can afford to go all out on them.
I am wondering about my torquer v3 (231/234 .644/.598 111lsa). Wil lit be too small for this engine? My builder had a similar setup to the way mine will be (similar cam and 243s) and it made 570 hp (engine dyno) as opposed to a more aggressive setup (240-250 duration and dart heads) making 590hp.
I am thinking about waiting till winter to do a bigger cam and ls3 heads or something.
Should i just hold off, wil lthe torquer 3 be ok for now or do i really need to change it?
basically, i felt like the torquer v3 required a bit more revving than i would like in the ls1 and i broke 3 prc duals with it so i think its a little too harsh on the valvetrain.
I want it to lope pretty good too and be reasonable with gas mileage. I tuned the v3 to drive smooth as can be so im not too worried about driveability.
