Which cams are considered the donkey dick cams? From what I know, its the MS4, Trex, and Polluter. I know there are more out there. Just curious if anyone wants to add to the list of the donkeys? Also please add specs if you know them

We've engine dyno tested all of the cams mentioned in the thread so far (and more), back to back to ensure a level playing field. I can tell you that the results are interesting on many levels. When one company advertises that they "donkey dick" camshaft makes much better bottom end and mid-range power than everyone else's, beware. They are all big and aggressive camshafts designed to make peak power. If you want perfect driveability, terrific bottom end and mid-range power, get a smaller camshaft. There's only so many lobes out there to tweak the VE's to work in your favor, and at the end of the day a 240º+ intake duration camshaft simply does not drive under 3000rpm like a sub 230º intake duration cam

Anything mid 230s is going to give up driveability and torque in most cases.
Just my story(Quickly), Ive got a 6.0L, CNC LS3 Lingenfelter heads, 1 3/4" Longtubes, mandrel exhaust, etc, etc, and Im going with a 219/235 .607/.621 114 cam. Over camming an engine sucks, and its sucks forever until you change it. If your deciding between two levels of cams, error smaller.

I love my cam alot. 220/230 .585/.585 112lsa
Even though my tune isn't were I think it should be it still has all that grunt down low like a stocker would. Once I get all my new parts on Saturday, Dlove and I are going to get it tuned. Hopefully I'll go from 400rwhp to something like 430-440 so...
