Default Best Cam

Okay i know everyone will say to search but i haven't found much to my liking. I am running my stock heads with double springs good to .650 lift. My bottom end is all forged with diamond -5cc pistons and i am looking at between 11.5 and 12.0 compression. I want to shift under 7000 so what cam do you guys think would give me the best power? And yes i will be driving it on the street.

Where do you to end up? 12.99, 11.99, etc and how much $$$. Will it be your only transportation? A cam is give and take you give some drivibility to get power. To have larger cam often need different, gears, stall, tranny cooler, suspension tires, ......the changes never end

Dowside mpg pain in the *** to drive, etc. Personally I hate a large stall and gears or loud exhaust. You need to think it through more and come up with parameters to decide.

I would say leave it stock and run boost. Then you have great drivabilty same mpg (often more if you keep your foot out of it)

Once you feel the power boost gives you will understand.

The one that will give you the most power will be a custom grind, I would go that route hands down.
