Default 230+ cam?

Hey guys. Yesterday i ordered a cam package from tsp and decided on their torquer cam. It's fairly big, 233/233 .589 112lsa. From your experience, do you think i will lose a lot of torque from 1000-2500? Most of my driving is in that range unless of course i'm getting on it! I just hope it doesn't feel like a dog untill like 3000 rpm where i know i'll gain some power.

Dude relax. It will drive fine in those RPM's for daily driving. It will just hammer the pavement a few more 100 rpm's.

i wouldn't think it would suffer hardly any...anywhere...the only thing that should control that is your foot....keep your foot off the gas(hard to do) and you will have similar gas mileage that you have now....but once you start messing around it drops a little quicker
