Lol.. eps seems to be doing very well recently.. lots of area under the curve and good drivability and peak power as well.. not to mention boatloads of torque

I do like the Trex but I haven't really seen anybody with that cam. Only a few here and there.

seriously???
because the TRex is only the most popular cam of all time..
I know 4 people that put one in this year...
and easily I know 25~30 people running it...



as far as the best out of that bunch, it totally depends on what you want to do, which heads you are running, Auto with or without a big stall or an M6, Gears, intake/exhaust and a lot of other factors.

The TRex is the only one on the list that I would say is the Most flexible for just about any setup.
and TRex has been proven time and time again to make power on all setups..

personally, TRex is my favorite out of that list as well

Ok maybe I've been reading there sigs wrong.
When some has the " TR " before there cam specs, does that mean it's a TRex?

TRex Covers all of that...

Buddy with a 99 vette...
good Dyno #'s on stock heads and an ls6 intake
street races with all of my buddies and does a good job at keeping up and winning
drives like a dream in a twisty curvy mountain side road, and he runs it like he's racing a road course all the time...
1/4 mile.... again... fas as hell especially for a Cam only LS6 intake vette
and its impossible to not sound like a badass at hooters with TRex

oh... and with a TRex... if you put a 4k stall in a car, and shift out around 6500, and you will pretty much own every race you run... Proven winner time and time again.

Dont forget about LG Motorsports cams as well. Any of the G5X series cams make great power.

The best is very relative to what you wanna do. I think you should get in contact with one of the sponsors such as Texas Speed and tell them what you wanna do and see what direction they can point you in as far as cam selection.
