cam comparison -- area under the curve Whenever the comparison of cam is talked about here, the discussion usually turns away from peak hp / tq comparison to "area under the curve" comparisons. I decided to do a comparison of the stock '00 LS1 cam, '02 LS6 cam, MTI C1 cam and the LG G5X2 cam. Below you will find a link to the comparison of these cams. In all cases we are talking about stock headed cars.
Let me know any feedback. My next plan is to code this up so anyone could do the calculation.

I would just like to add that in racing the only power range that matters is the one you use. For a 1/4 mile drag racing example...with a shift point of 6600 and a 4400 stall converter that has a 6000 RPM shift extension, the most important power made is the very small range from 6000-6600. Secondary is the range from 4400 to 6000. And of very little to no importance is the 0-4400 range.
