Bret Bauer or Ed Curtis? I don't go to the track and my goals for my car is just a "fun" street car. I've been looking at cams, but need help deciding. I'm undecided out of these 3 cams. Bauer 224/224, StreetSweeper-TQ, & StreetSweeper-HT. I want good low end & mid range torque.
I don't want a cam that makes power up top only. Seems like the majority like the StreetSweeper-HT cam, but how's it compare to the StreetSweeper-TQ? And how about the Bret cam?

I just recently in stalled the streetsweeper HT in my car. I love how it sounds and pulls really good for not being tuned. I have no personal experience with other but HT is def a good cam.
Either Street sweepers going to be a better cam than a 224/224. Ed is Gods gift to camshafts. Looking to have Ed spec me a custom grind this winter for a max effort 5.3 i have in an s-series.
I see this turning to a pat g nut swinger thread rather quickly.

What makes you think either StreetSweeper cam would be better than Bret's 224/224 cam? From what I've read, Bret's 224 cam is a bad ****.
We installed one of the Streetsweepers in a friends car a few years ago. Can't recall the exact specifications, but it was in the 220's and was on a 112 LSA. He made just over 400 on a dynojet with an 04 Vette, headers, Yella Terra rockers and an under drive pulley.

BUT, the camshaft is only one component of your engine valve-train...
Where those two Pro are creating the difference, is in setting up a perfect complete matched valve-train from very bottom to very top to your needs.
About proof, been there done that.
How's that?

May I say that defining a "pretty much standard camshaft event" is "pretty much not complicated", in a certain way...
