Good choices!

Cams are so hard to decide on -- we all want the bad ass sound of a big cam - but few of us want the drivability issues they bring.... And frankly NOTHING is worse than a motor that's a dog, torque wise, were we drive "normally". I always liked an engine that pulled with just barely any throttle. That way you FEEL the power without having to have the speed that goes with the big bad boys. To each his own..... some guys love a car that barely runs. Nothing worse than a "lazy" bottom end to me.

Can't tell you how many hot rod buddies that buy a crate motor - low compression - and choose the wrong cam (bigger is ALWAYS BETTER - BS!!) and have an exhaust sound that's just wuss all the way... the cam bleeds off what little compression the motor did make... and the throttle feels like the car is out of gas. HORRIBLE. LOL
