An "RV" cam is just a small cam that helps boost low speed performance. Anything less than 210 degrees at .050 would fall in this category IMO. That's the Crane 266, the Comp 260 or the Performer cam.
For the $$$, I would buy the Elgin Cam from Competition Products part#E923M for $94.95 for cam and lifters.
But there are other choices. Once again, stay below 210 at .050. There are at least 6 Elgin grinds in the Comp Products catalog that meet that criteria. The next one down is 202/207 at .050 on 115 LSA and will idle even smoother than the 204/214. Part # E860SM with lifters for the $116.95
For comparison, just about every small block since the mid 60's came with the 3896929 cam which is 194/203 at .050 on 116 LSA. That one is $89.95 with the lifters.
The biggest cam I would consider on the list is 208/208 on 110LC. It is $119.95. Here is a link to the Elgin grinds at CP.

My advice remains the same as the 204/214 grind is a good size and better price. They sell it as a "BlackICe" cam as well which has not just special tempering treaments but uses cryogenics as well. That's only $119.95 with lifters. Part #ELGICE200923CL.
