AugustBurnsRed19 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Torquer v2 cam 112 lope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Something with a 112 is choppy. But like I tell people I would have one custom ground. Tell them what your mods are and goal are and it will be better than an off the shelf cam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AugustBurnsRed19 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I would wait on the custom cam man up to you though that torquer cam proves good for these trucks. We need all the torque we can get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GI.SS Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Absolutely tooley all the way! The whole omg it's custom thing is bs. It just isn't a run of the mill off the shelf cam. Have Brian or someone who designs cylinder porting programs spec you a cam. They know their cam/valve events in relation to your driving style better than anyone. Oh and it costs the same amount....

AugustBurnsRed19 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Torquer v2! It ultimately depends on if you know exactly what you want out of the ss man. If you know exactly what you want in the end result then go ahead and get a custom cam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GI.SS Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 skip the t-stat, ls engines like to run hot. also, any stall speed you choose, your tuner can set it up so it is more drive-able or driver friendly. get a good honest tune first and then let us know where you stand. I I bet you will be very happy with results from just a tune. Before you go upgrading hard parts, I would suggest: 40k transmission cooler, hd2 shift kit, and vette servo's along with a billet 4th apply. A REAL TUNE, e-fans. after seeing where you are at time wise or power wise whichever is your goal, then I would be looking at talking to someone who specs cams. Everyone on here is gonna say their cam is the best : ie: this guy who has a hard on for his cam Torquer v2 cam 112 lope! all in all, get your bolt-ons and trans squared away before even deciding on a specific cam and stall. Cam and stall should be matched perfectly! If you want a solid runner there are plenty of setups on here that guys run that you can mimic. IMO this isnt the way to go. I believe bolt ons should be installed, trans upgrades, stall and cam should be matched perfectly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onebadmax Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Don't be afraid of a little more stall too!!! These trucks are heavy and need all the help they can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GI.SS Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 well do you want a mail tune or an in person tune? theres a ton of great shops scattered threw out the north east as well as the mail order tuners like zippy, blackbear, weatley....

JC03SS Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) I don't have a 1/4 here but went from 9.4 to 8.5 in the 1/8 after my stall n cam. That right there is enough to put a 13.4 to 13.6 1/4 run down. You won't have any prob either when you get yours done. That's why I say call BT. You can tell him all your goals and he can get you there. Edited June 13, 2014 by JC03SS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
