Which Cam?
Which Cam? Ok I have accepted the fact that I only have one cam to worry about and I have read a bunch on what the lifts/LSA's, etc etc will mean. I have basically come down to the choice of these two. Has anyone had real experience with either and are the horsepower claims accurate on these (The Texas-Speed claimed 45-50rwhp with tuning)?
Texas-Speed Torquer V.2 Cam

Or
Thunder Racing CheatR Cam

For at least 2 more months this would be on a stock head/stock exhaust Vette with only an intake and a 150 NX wet shot on it. Future mods are for Kooks LT/Off-Road X pipe. Thanks for your opinions again.

I like the specs of the texas speed one, over the Thunder cam that you have listed.
I don't know the specs of the F-13 dude listed.

Maybe a little more info in what you want and are willing to give up? Strip only car? Street mostly?
I am getting ready to do my 4th cam in 14 months. My current is the most agressive. I also had a F13 (230/232 112lsa+4), which was harder to tune for idle and low speed/part throttle drivability. I would recommend you get the BEST heads you can afford and rely on the cam a little less; meaning less agressive cam. If this is for mostly for the drag-strip then who cares how wild the cam is. Otherwise, you need a cam you can live with driving and commuting. It is a matter of what you can deal with every day...

Well, the Texas-Speed one is supposed to be the best bet in terms of every day driving. It's my daily driver, not a strip only. So that's why I didn't go with the TSP Magic Stick. The drivability is so supposed to be really good.

Who told you the T2 was a better bet for a daily driver compared to the CheatR cam and what did they base that on? The T2 is a good cam, my current cam is very close to it in spec, but it is not more civil comared to the CheatR... I spent some time on the phone with the guys at Texas-Speed. I know the CheatR cam is more civil but it's also "too" civil. It won't make the power I want. I can live with the T2.
