BTR PDS STAGE 1 And 2 torque Cam

I'm looking at the above cams and wondered if anyone has personal experience with either of them?

I have had cars with big lopey cams before and I'm kinda done with that. I just want a cam that makes good power with excellent street manners.

I've also considered the ls9 cam.

There's just not much info or first hand accounts that I can find on the above cams especially the stage 1.


Thanks

I've had the BTR 2 for almost 2 1/2 years now and love it. For street I would not go any higher...it's as choppy as I want for street use. The most important thing is a really good tune for an experienced tuner.

Is it the stage 2 torque or the old stage 2?

Edit:. The new stage 2 torque Cam is on a 113lsa
The older stage 2 is on a 122+6 lsa

I run the older stage 3 PDS can and it's fine for a daily driver. Not really sure how the specs compare to the newer versions.

I run a BTR Stage 3 Torque cam. And I love it. It's very easy to drive in traffic. It does not take a lot of gas to get the car moving. The only time it gets kinda weird is if I'm just letting the car roll, while in gear. The loop does make the car lurch back and forth. Other then that, it's smooth sailing.
