    The cam I am using was a $30 clearance item similar to cam A but hydraulic. It pulled through 7,000 on my Procharged and Turbo combo's. I never needed to pull 7,000rpm to make the power.. short shifting but running through the traps around 7,000.

    I would guess cam 2 as a better power producer... but lobe cut, overlap, etc come into play. As well as what are your goals with the car?

    One thing worth taking a look at is a custom cam for your combo depending how much power you are looking for.
    The money tree willing my next cam will be cut specifically for my combo. I'll let Robert be the middle man :cheers:
