Default A good cam for mid to high end power?

Idle is a concern for me, so i do not want something to big. I am not planning on getting any tuning right now either.

the Comp 216/220 seems to make good power at the higher end & has good dyno numbers.

I have a ST3500 and A4. Thanks..

Any other good higher RPM power'd cams?

B1 might do you good. 221 558 114.

With it (and LS6 intake) I picked up .5 sec.

to keep idle good quality use a 114 or 115 LSA with that cam. The lower your planned idle speed, the more you should consider the 115 LSA.

I make great power from 4000-7000rpm with my cam.
