Default help deciding on a cam

looking for a good cam to go with dart 225's on stock bottom end. heads are unmilled but have thought about milling for more compression. cams I have looked at are VRX5, VRX6, F14, and F15. anybody have any thoughts about these cams or any other cams.

All those cams are pretty big. That's OK for a toy or if you have a really good tuner. For a daily driver, you may want to go with something that makes a little more average power under the curve.

Best advice is to find a shop that sells these cams that you trust (preferably, one of our fine sponsors over here ------> ). Go with their advice.

the car is not a daily driver so I am ok with the bigger cams. I am looking for a cam that will have good under the curve power and maybe peak around the 460-470 hp range. I have seen a few good results with the F14 and F15 just wondering if there are any better cams for these heads or maybe even a custom grind.

The G5X series cams from LG have produced very good numbers.
