Its close but dont know what lobes the one your asking about is cut on. Stealth factor will depend on a few things, lsa is one. Now duration at .050 is gonna dictate power band or where its going to happen best. Seems alot of people on here are pushing a custom grind but Ide say 95 percent on here dont need it. An off the shelf grind will do. One thats been tried and proven. But hey its your money and time. check out the racing section and see who is running what to get your goal.

Well the first one duration with the seconds lift and stay at 116 could be alright. Looks like your looking for a split duration cam. You still running stock manifolds? Kinda wondering why not a reverse split? Check out thunders cams best suited for all internal stock engines or some of MTIs older stuff. Thier lift at .050 dont look inpressive, but the lifts at say .020 is good compared to most competators. Im sure if I say something out of line other "cam experts" will chime in before a real cam dude will give needed advice.

Look at my specs in signature. Cam is small but performs very well on the street. Still can get 27 mpg on the highway.

Remember to take the 1.8 rockers into account when you look at Smack's cam....

The MTI cams seem to perform well, as well as the Cheater cam...

CheaTR- 214/230, .601/.575 lift on 117 lsa

MTI stealth I- .220/.220 .581/.581 115LSA

MTI stealth II- .224/.220 .581/.581 116LSA

that should idle pretty tame like you want (if you are trying to hide the rump rump).
street friendly bottom end torque cam for sure.

Z06 cam is 207/218 on a 117.5...so you've got a bit more duration than that cam.
