Now i'm wondering if I made the right choice.

Car: 2000 C5 M6 Corvette "Street Car" (some strip)

Motor:
454LSx (11.8:1)
TFS 245 Heads
LME Sheetmetal Intake (Also have a ported FAST)
NX Direct port (But i'm not sure if i'm even gonna install it anymore
Kooks 2" Headers

Old Cam:
Cam Motion grind 253/259 @.050 .643/.613 114+4

I hated it..The power came on sluggish and it fell on its face at 6300rpm's (FAST and Sheetmetal) Overall, I just wasnt happy.

New Cam:
Comp Cam Grind
252/262 @.050 .612/.612 113+3

My last powerband felt kind of flat until around 3500 then hit hard. I am used to REALLY hard torque down low.

I am looking for a car with HUGE midrange power, but carrys to 600rw at around 6500. I want a clean idle since its a street car.

I dont care to hear about all of the FAST/Sheetmetal bullshit. I've got both, and have tried both. I dont care what I use, I just dont want to have people pull cam numbers out of their *** for me to try..

Will my can give me what I'm looking ofr, or am I wayyyy off??

I'll make you a deal, the person who gets the cam SPOT on (If mine isnt the way to go) will get a $100.00 Visa gift card for their troubles..

But i'm not gonna try out 316 cams to get it right..
why dont you just have pat g spec u a cam?
