What about the rest of the important things about cam choices?

Desired peak?
How high are you willing to spin it?
How much low-end torque are you willing to give up?

That's one pretty cam. That and the ThunderRacing Trak cam. I've even seen Patrick G say that if you want to know about the Torquer v3, just search for results from the Trak cam.

if im not mistaken isnt the Trak cam like a 649 lift or something like that? Im looking for a cam that i dont have to fly cut with, i dont wana spin the motor too high probally around 6400. I dont wana give up too much low end torque cause i want the car to come out hard.
