Default Cam choices/Thunder Racing/Texas Speed/EPS/Speed Inc/Vengence Racing/FTI Ed Curtis

Hey guys i thought i would post abit more of an interesting poll, i dont want it to turn into a **** fight or anything.
Im doing a poll on what brand camshaft you would buy, and size for all out max effort (Offshelf Grinds Not custom)
So if everyone wants to poll, and comment on what their using or what they wish they used.

And we can all see the outcome.
Dont turn it into a **** fight about one brand being better then another just comment on your opinion.

All the people you listed are all great companies and Ive dealt with most so pick one and spend some time explaining what you are wanting out of your engine. But as mentioned above who is grinding it? Instead of asking what shop. How about the poll reflect the cam company. Comp, Cam Motion, Lunati, Isky. And so on. BTW I have a cam from EPS(226/234-115lsa) TSP(MS3-113lsa)Vengeance(Vindicator-240/244-112lsa). The first I havnt had the time to get it tuned. The later two are great topend cams and with proper tuning can live on the street. But I DD the car with the EPS and wanted longer valve train life over the aggresive lobe design the other two have. All three are Comp Cams.

I voted EPS because obviously its what I have and read/studied the results. It's more forgiving to valve train and has very good results w/ stock to ported GM heads.

Of those listed, I voted EPS. For me it's a toss-up between an EPS or th F13.

Sorry i forgot to add Futural motorsport they have 3 specific votes to their name ill keep a tally for the other companys and after awhile ill compile it up so no companys miss out on theirs votes.
The reason i wanted to poll whats camshafts etc just to see what most guys are using and if they like it wished for a different grind from another company and so forth i had searched but thought this poll would be usefull to everyone as its upto date with what everyones doing.
Keep the votes Coming

I'm really happy with my TSP 233/239,595/603 cam. It pulls like crazy at about 3,500 RPM and its still streetable on a 112 LSA. Along with some other bolt-ons ... 431.31 RWHP/380.62 TQ (Dynojet). It works just fine for a good weather daily driver too.

I have the New Era streetsweeper. Its a ed curtis design cut by comp cams. I went with it because of New Era being local and also Studderin on this boards great results. I am happy so far. It needs some gear and a 12 bolt so my times will come out better.

Looking at the poll, EPS seems to be the flavor of the day around here

I have a Vengeance cam (Comp xer lobes) but voted EPS since I plan on having Pat G spec me one. I'm hoping for a little more low end and quieter valvetrain.
