I've been looking around on various sites, but haven't found and answer. The question is this:
A number of cams give a power band RPM (i.e. 800-6000, or 1500-6500, 2200-6800), and I was wondering if that is what you would need to set your idle at after installing a cam, just what you would need to rev to before you could move, or has some other specific meaning?![Icon Confused](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_confused.gif)
Just wondering for my own future reference. Thanks to anyone who cares to answer.
Have a day.

Right, those ranges are describing the powerbands of each cam.
With most small - medium cams, you want your M6 idling around 800-850, and with big cams 900-1000.
If you want a nice power increase and maximum engine longevity, I'd look for a combo that you shift by 6500.
