Default A different cam thread

Most guys want max power or that lopey idle. I kinda want a different kind of cam. One that...

1. Deliver's great low and mid range torque
2. Stock like idle
3. Stock rev limit


Whats out there guys that fits what i want to a T? Any suggestions? Thanks

BTW - This cam will ofcourse be run with LT's and a catted Y along with a custom catback.

I am sure you will get a lot of answers to this, I am running the VHP_056 cam. 216/224 114.5 LSA. Lobe rates are slower than say XER, and the cam is quiet with a little chop at idle. Stock rev limit and power peaks at 6,000 RPM. Auto doesn't require a stall.

Wrong forum.

IOW, that kind of cam is available from sources outside of this venue.

TR224 is proven cam, as well as the 228R, from Thunder Racing. i would highly recommend having a professional custom spec a cam for you though. someone like PatrickG can have one made for you that will suit your needs "to a 'T'"

Not really interested in the LS6 cam. I'm 100% sure i'm probably going to go custom but was hoping for some idea's other then that.

From what I know, you won't even notice the difference between a "custom" cam and one of the off the shelf track/street/time proven cams. I guess we all want to be different, but c'mon, is it worth it?
