Default Predator Z-cam question with a vig 3200

is the FMS F5 224"/228" .588"/.576" cam a good match with a vig 3200. It should make the torque in the lower end like the TR224 yet carry a bit more peak power as well correct?
referring to this graph...

Not necessarily, put theoreticaly by having a tad more overlap yes. However they have 2 different lobe profiles, they would be very close to each other on the same LSA/ICL, TR224 will make a tad more cylinder pressure.

Yeah, I know. checking around now for them. but as far as a cam. something that wont kill the springs and still make good power with the vig 3200 have tons of torque to hit the converter hard.

230/228 .612/.588 110-1 LSA,
Custom cam, 6500 rpm, more trq than you can shake a stick at, 9* overlap (good lope).
Better get some sticky tires with that one.
If you like PM me, I'll give you the specs.

subscribing, have a yank 3400 stall and have the same question about hitting the converter hard down low. Im on stock long block and can only pull 1.85 60 ft's so far, boo.
