I've been a member an here for a while just lurking around reading trying to learn something about my car, and after enough reading I finally decided to make my first purchace. I bought the Torquer V3 camshaft kit , LS2 timing chain, Pacesetter L/T and TSP ORY. I'm wondering what you guys think of that cam for a daily driver.

Shouldnt have any problems, Be sure to get a good tune, and you will enjoy the way the car sounds and feels.

Excellent cam for daily driver, have several buddies with the same DD cam. Like RARON said, make sure to get a good tune. v3 works excellent with stock heads but needs a good tune to do so. Assuming you have a m6? If it's an auto, a stall will wake up that cam A LOT..
