Default Cam only for grudge racing!!

I'm about to have a full cam swap done on my grudge/street racing car and was wondering what everyones opinions on the cam I should use with the current mods I have in my sig. I will most likely have Pat G spec me something so if you drag guys have any opinions I'd love to hear it before ordering all the parts!! It needs to be decently streetable but my main focus is getting downt he 1/4 as fast as posisble on the street.

well something in the 230's will do fine on a 110 to 112 lca but if you really want to go fast also pull alot of weight out of it.

I really like my 230/232 cam. It was designed with streetability in mind.

However, something more aggressive might be in order if you are willing to sacrifice low end torque.

I for one love a flat torque curve.
