Do you want the idle to be smooth, or rough? ("don't care" is also a valid answer)

How much would it bother you if the car was to surge and buck at 1000 RPM in parking lots? Or 1500 RPM?

How much low-RPM power are you willing to trade for high-RPM power?
How much high-RPM power are you willing to trade for low-RPM power?
In other words, how do you feel about downshifting to get more power?

What engine is this cam going into?
What car is this cam going into?

Is the car your daily driver?
Will you be drag racing this car?
Will you be road racing this car? (or doing HPDE / lapping days?)
