Well guys, I've decided to bite the bullet - I'm going to pull the Steeda #18 cam I currently have (due to poor driveability below 2000 rpm) and go with something that has known good driveability. The question is - what cam should I get? My car is currently naturally aspirated and 100% street driven. I would rather not go back to stock, but would still like something with a little kick to it. Keep in mind, my ultimate goal is to get rid of the bucking (chunk-a-chunk-a-chunk-a) that I have at any rpm less than 1500, and i want an idle speed of less than 1000 rpm (currently idle at 1100). In case you're wondering, the Steeda #18 cam is very similar to the E303 cam (220/226, 512"/512" lift w/1.7 rr), but has crappy drivability. I've got full exhaust, al. gt40 heads with mild exhaust porting, etc, see signature below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard White
