Re: Opinions on GM cam

No Ticker, I haven't made up my mind. That's why I'm posting up other cam possibilities for the heads I already have. I just want it all- torquey, high hp on both the street and highway. I want good torque down low for the street, yet still be able to scream by folks on the highway if needed. I appreciate yours and everyone elses opinions. I guess I'll add that I'd prefer a cheaper cam like one of these take-outs that I'm discovering, instead of the $230 CompCams since I'm on a budget....

My apologies, I didn't think that's what I was doing. You asked for opinions about about specific cams, and I gave my recommendations regarding those specific cams. I didn't see a general request of "what cam should I use."

I thought I was trying to help, but I guess since the impression I'm giving is just so negative I should have just never responded. I'm sorry.

My recommendation would be staying within the lift limits of the stock GMPP Vortecs and selecting one of the Xtreme 4x4 CompCams such as P/N 08-409-8 or 08-411-8. I realize this doesn't fit your budget; I don't typically work with take-out cams as their condition is unknown, and the cost of failure is high.

Good luck with your build!
