I'm no expert, but I would tend to agree with Mr Fixit. I'm running cam "16 Crower 16357 Solid 472HP 5500 530TQ 4000 .530/.535Lift 278/284 240/243Duration@50 114". This cam is a step down from my last by Crower, but seems to have more than enough poop, idle's with attitude, and given the lift specs, won't kill the valve train. I thought I might not care for a "smaller" cam, but actually I'm more than happy to this point, and it gives me a lot more confidence in reliability which I would like to have. My 2 cents.

Just saw 428CJ's post, and the cam I'm running is 114 lobe centers, which is part of the reason I didn't think I'd like it, because I thought I wouldn't get that sweet sounding idle....To my surprise it actually sounds fantastic (both the Kirkhams and my builder assured me that I'd like it). Maybe not as mean as some drag car with open headers, but I've gotten a lot of "wow, that sounds incredible" type comments. Dunno if this cam is unique or what, but if your wanting a good street cam, I'm impressed so far.
