If I were you, I would be looking for cams that produce a torque curve like the Katech Stage I cam in the following current thread:

Keep the duration low, even for a 6.0. That 4500 lbs. is alot to get moving.

And what is final drive ration in 1st gear on one of these?
you are talking about a 4.00 inch bore. Will need more air/fuel charge to "stun" lighter cars.
But IMO, unless you have supportin bolt-ons, a stall will net you more "stunning effect" than anything else.

I have read tons of post in this section and have learned a lot about cams, or so I thought. I have read tons of post on all the latest "big" cams and how much top end power they make but what about real usable power under the curve for everyday driving? Seems like most people here are trying to make the most top end power they can with the biggest cam they can find. Nothing wrong with that as I am sure most of you take your cars to the track on a regular basis and every little bit helps. I want to know what you all think the best "street" cam is for good drivability (I know it's subjective) and all around good low end "seat of the pants" power. Don't intend to ever spray, go to the track maybe once a year, just want the car to have a nice sounding lope and make good useable power that I can feel between 2,500 and 6,000rpm's. Can somebody point the spotlight in the opposite direction for me? I was going for the TR224/112 which I have read good things about but is there a better choice for me? Thanks, and I'm sorry to have to ask this but I just can't find my exact question.
Oh, standard bolt-ons will apply. Headers/LS6 intake ect.
