i wouldnt base looking for a cam on how much power they will put down. there are dyno queens, and there are cars that perform! i would look for a cam that is either a known performer, and something that meets your needs. something that fits what you are planning to do with the car. bracket race, 1/4 mile, street, DD, weekend warrior? maybe a custom cam would be best. maybe you should talk to patrick G, and see what he recomends. supporting mods also do make a difference. so make sure you get all the supporting stuff first.

sounds like patrick G has to make u a cam

but if you want something thats already made. and has decent low end. i would say torquer 2. thats a really nice respectable cam, that makes good power, and is a good performer.

11:1 compression ratio, no flycutting issues, unless head has been milled, but you should verify ptv anyways.

MILLING AND THINNER HEAD GASKETS, BUT THAT WILL REQUIRE FLYCUTTING.
