The biggest I was thinking to go was TR's TRAK, believe it was a 231/234 .640/.590 112 LSA, which I don't think would be that harsh considering my stall size and 373s in the rear.
OK, but what does Beastmode mean?

You don't get out much, do you?

It would mean all out, 100%, brutal, powerful, and damn near unstoppable. The last person to speak of beastmode was Marshawn Lynch of the Seattle Seahawks.

As you have heard and read a million times on here ,just give any vendor on here a call and they can spec you a cam to fit your needs. Just remember the cam will produce power ,but with a set of good heads, the cam will really show it's power. IMO , I perfer stealth cams that sounds pretty mild while cruzin' and idling ,but really opens up when you put your foot down.

Please, enlighten me with your cam expertise, guess I shouldn't describe camshafts with the word beastmode anymore. But thanks the awesome info the two of you posted, worthless.

To everyone else who seems to know what I meant by "Beastmode" thank you for the help!

Yeah, you probably shouldn't. It sounds foolish.

Sorry, thought it was well known in most parts of the US, anyways I know for the most part what a Camshaft does.Although I still could do some more research on the topic. I have decided I want a good stock sounding cam that would go well with a Supercharging project that I have had in my mind for awhile, that way I get great power AND drivability!!!

It must be the generation gap, I knew what you meant by beast mode anyway, probably should have used "three quarter race cam" for the old timers! Or keep it really simple and use words like "big" or "small" cam to spare them the confusion and frustration of googling up "beastmode" in the urban dictionary?

Oh i knew what you meant, but I also knew what it means about you.... To me, camshaft selection is a tad bit more important than say, whether your dubs are chromed or polished. You see, I am ashamed to say there is no generation gap between us, only an IQ gap.

Lol, burn, dude!!!

Ah, I'm just messin with ya! Good luck with ya project, dog!

maybe get something like a 230/234 on 112 and keep the stock muffler. With it going through the muffler most peole wont be able to tell its cammed then when you open the cutout you will for sure be able to tell it is.

Wow, I didn't mean to leave a lasting impression that I'm a wannabe gangbanger or involved in such shenanigens. I just a white guy in his late twenties LMAO. Just thought it would be a different word to use for a badass high rpm cam.
