Default TSP Torquer V2 in a stock LS3

I have a TSP TV2 (232/234 XER on 112 LSA) sitting on a shelf gathering dust.

Can I put this cam in a stock LS3 and still get decent PTV clearance???

The TQ2 would clear with those heads. However, we have some LS3 specific cams that would probably be better suited for that motor. You could always sell that cam and get into one of the new cams for less than $100. I'm just thinking if you are doing the labor on it, you might as well get all the performance you can get out of it. Let me know if you have any other questions!

How much clearance would I get?? Can I whip .020 or .030 off the heads and still have plenty of PTV???

what Jon is saying is it really isn't worth it to put the that cam in a ls3. I have the cam in my little 346 and it does pretty good, but I would never think about putting it in a ls3- especially with the redesign of the heads for those motors. Cams have come a long way in just a short amount of time.

Sell it and pick something up that works better than the Tv2 and you will be happy you did so

So you're saying it won't make much more power than stock???

It's still a cam with .600 lift and over 230 degrees of duration.... surely it can't be that bad???

no, hes just saying that for what it is, it is not that great for an ls3 headed motor. it was designed for a much different head.
