Your buddy would do well to either A) keep his mouth shut when people ask him questions about things that he does not fully understand, or B) be proactive and research to educate himself on such matters that he would like to relay to other folks; let him in on this site, we'll edumacate him!

I hate going to dealerships and asking for specific parts for something that I have researched thoroughly only to have the holier than thou counterperson cop an attitude when I insist I know what I am talking about. It's funny when a few of them actually own up to their mistakes.

I thought it would be a neat idea- but yeah, it's a bunch of work. For torque my vote goes to Comp Cams XR259HR 206/212 .515/.522 112. It's like a little L-92 cam; 234/240 .595/.609 112...............

Bringin it back to life with a couple thoughts

trying to make a cam like the LS2 (which we are still trying to get our hands on an early run one)

Looking for something, or a possible custom grind close to these

202/206
204/207

Both with a 585 to a 605 lift, and a 112 LSA.

anyone know of anywhere that can make one like this?

I want low duration, but high lift. (is that even possible???!!)

yes it is... why go for a lopey cam? stick to a 114 or more to get that almost stock sound @ idle...

Im running the XR265HR and it was a nice improvement over stock, although if I could, I would go back and get a cam with more

I wouldn't consider any of those lopey; lsa plays a small part in the lope. Most all lope is in the overlap. The lsa will determine the powerband more than anything.

That being said; the Vinci ultra torque cam would be a great choice. Its a 210/218 .551 with an lsa choice of anywhere from 112 to 116. Bud's 206/212 would be a damn good one too. Acutally I just pretty much restated Bud's post
