Default Cam Experts.. Question

If you were to design the Ultimate Sleeper cam to achieve max power with stock idle characteristics. What specs would you use and go with?

We just did a 216/220 @ 114 in a 01 vette and when the idle is 125 over stock it is totally indecipherable from stock. However I like the 222/230 @ 114 for more power up top. I do feel that given the simulations that I have run testing over 100K cams given stk and ported head flow #'s this is tough to beat. It has all the lower end torque of a smaller cam but has great high end of a larger cam. This cam is certainly a bit more lopey but no that much. a trained ear can tell but the 216/220 is a torque monster and can still spin high given a very good exhaust.

Check the specs on MTI Stealth 220/220 @115.
Docile at idle but strong in midrange to 6500rpm. Good sleeper, designed for this purpose.
