What size engine, compression ratio, transmission type, gear ratio and approximate weight of your car? With this type of information we can give you a better answer.

That sounds like it should be a good street combo that will have a noticeable rumble. Most of the power will be in the midrange of the RPM which will make for great drivability.

If it's a 5th gen, it's amongst the largest camshafts that can be installed without having to flycut pistons. Also, the duration has as much to do with chop as the LSA does (overlap)...this cam on a 116 LSA will still chop hard. The lift is just fine and will work well with the stock heads.

How does the custom cam you guys specd for SUPER CHEVY ("Monster Mouse" July2012) idle ? Would this be a decent street cam for a TSP 417/PRC 250cc heads in a 3:42 rearend and 4L65e trans? Would it be to big for a LY6 with the lower CR & CID? I want to cam the LY6 untill I save the coin for the TSP stroker.
thanks,
Jim

That cam in a heavy camaro will make killer power without sacrificing low-end or mid-range torque.

My goals are as much peak whp as I can get but still have some lowend and be able to keep it fairly street able above 2000rpm or so.
