Default Texas Speed Torquer 2 Camshaft ?

Been researching cams for my 02 Z06 and like everyone else going between LG & TS cams .
Was thinking LG X1 or X2 or TS Torquer 2 ? The Torquer 2 seems to sit right in the middle of the two and am leaning that way. Not sure about 112 LS or 114LS.. Plus can get cam kit , Oil pump and rocker up grade for less tan LG kit ..

Anyone running Torquer 2 ? feedback ?

My car is mostly a track day car use it sometimes on weekends for short trips ..

LT headers / high flow cats
Vari ram
COW tune

114 LSA. No, not any noisier than it was before really.... Dont forget to do the supporting mods. Springs, push rods and at least the Comp Cam trunion upgrade for the rockers. Also, might as well throw in a new oil pump, water pump and valve guide seals if you have some milage on the engine. Also, dont be silly like me and NOT install a 2 piece timing chain cover. I wish I would have done that because I want to do heads in the upcoming months and now I have to pull the steering rack again!!

Your car sounds just the way I would like mine to sound. Could you pm me the type of headers, mufflers, springs, other mods, etc that you used to get it that way? Thanx.

I ran the V2 with 112 LSA in my GTO and I loved it. I went 12.9 @116.

I have a couple videos if you want them but I daily drove the car with no issues.

You won't regret it. The powerband on that cam is very nice.
