Cam question? I just purchased a comp cams xr281hr. Specs are 228/230 .571/.575 112. Now read somewere this cam goes to 7400 rpms. I'll only rev it till about 6600 cause I think the rod bolts couldnt take the stress of 7400 and I think I'll lose power right at about 6600. My car see's sopme track time trough out the year and have a 4.10 gear with 3500 stall with full bolton's and ls6 instake. Now will this cam be a good cam to mess around on the street with. Does it perform well low/midrange through the powerband? Not really worried about idle or drivibility.

range 2200>7200
You'll not necessarily loose power but you will loose usable power.
That cam should peak around 6300 or so. When you get it you will see how much advance is on it, if you want to bring the powerband down more, you can advance it some more (but no more than 6* total).
