Nice and powerful, without obnoxious I would reccommend the TSP Torquer or smaller. Anything bigger and you'll be getting up in the 23x's and that may become "obnoxious". 228R would be a good choice as well. For the Pacesetters, click one of the sponsors at the right. Eventually you will find some for sale. Also, you could keep an eye out in the for sale section for a good deal. Good luck!

G5X2 cam. Good balance of the medium cam. Keep in mind its all in the tune. A bad tune can make a stock cam sound horrible. A great tune can make a monster like
