Mike, I like my cam very well...it has a nice lope to it, idles at 750 with no problem, and is very tractable in traffic. Pulls like a demon from just about any RPM, 1200-1500 RPM on up. It seems to "get on the cam" about 2800, and seems to run out of steam about 6200 or so. Based on dyno results, my engine guy said I needed a bigger cam (and better manifold than my Edelbrock RPM), and I had planned to change both out this winter, but after reading my description, I'm thinking I oughta just leave it alone!
I guess my cam a good match for my car (close ratio toploader, 3.31 rear gears), but with a wide ratio or a 5-speed, and/or shorter rear gears, a higher lift and longer duration cam could be a good/better choice.
