Where can I find detailed info on Cam's? I'm Thinking about a cam and want to research what is available. I want some info on HP, low end Tq, Idel, drivability, etc., 
I called tha comp cams helpline, what a joke. They suggested like a 208 212 @ 115 lsa. I think the guy was reading from the descriptions on their website.

well what did you tell him you wanted the car to do? my guess is (what often happens) is you called comp and said "I want a good cam that I can drive every day, won't die, won't brake stuff, blah blah......" which means small......

No idle problems
Not as loud as friends TRex or 230/237
Too much info to wade through on the search. I want something that describes each cam & dyno graph of cam only. I will do heads later. Thinking about a 224/224 cam.

so basically you're looking for a nice neat chart that explains every cam out there? good f'in luck. there are many charts with their specs on it....but i haven't seen a chart where they are discussed at any length. call Allan @ Futral, he's the man with the cams. he'll hook you up.
