Thanks na, I'm in contact with a member right now. As soon as I figure out what the deal is with my car I'm going to pull the trigger on a set of cams.

Look for something like 106190s or 106060s if you want good all around power.

Do you mean 106160?

I've been wondering about those because the RPM range looks good for lugging around in parking lots without it getting up on the cams too soon..I understand the RPM range is shifted up a bit from the 1500-6000 published range(?).

I doubt you can lug anything in the 230 duration without some low rpm issues...

106100s.

What do you mean by "lug around"?

Comps RPM ranges are incorrect, ways have been.

It depends on where they are installed.

ok..driving around in lots, I noticed I'm going no more that 2000 rpm. So I figured comp cams listing for 106160 of 1500-6000 was probably low, as with all the RPM specs of the comp cams.(?)

Making the 106160 a better choice for me (and maybe 01RedBeardCobra) than the 106060 or the 106100.
It's a daily driver and I don't even race at red lights..

Also I don't remember you talking about the 106160 cams before..so I'm interested in the comparisons between the three...as you see it.

The 060s are the best all around, the 100s will make a little more up top and less down low, while the 160s make even less power down low and a little more up top.

If you're not racing go with the 060s and set them up with a tight LSA. The 106100s are mild enough for the street and great for the strip.
