99-215/220-115 Thunder Racing Custom "Old Man" Camshaft - 215/220 .600/.523 115 LSA This is the perfect cam for someone looking for a stock range power band and stock sounding idle. Significant horsepower gains throughout the RPM range. No computer tuning required. Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended.

Call Futral Motorsports at 1-877-78-43278 and tell them what you want out of a cam, they will tell you what to go with. They know their sh*t and have awesome customer service. I would have got a custom cam from them, but I didn't know about them until a few months after I had my cam installed. I do love my cam though

I installed a cam that was supposed to pulll from 2K. It does perform better overall, but it doesn't really start to breath until just over 4K. You can feel it jump at that point. It's almost like the way a 2 stroke motorcycle that has a set of expansion chambers feels when it hits its' powerband. Like giving it a shot of nitrous. If you can make power from 2K up your doing something most people havn't been able to do.
