i like this thread!
i finally started a really long one! cool
i was merely bitching that MOST cam questions can be found by a simple search, either here or the engine/exhaust section... there are FEW that need a new thread created... but it does happen occasionally.

...and just about all of them stink...
Maybe a sticky of HOW to select a cam, rather than getting a dozen different opinions.
And it's not the end of the world if you pick the wrong one. Cams hold their value pretty well, and it's not a huge job to change just a cam.
What I've seen lacking in cam threads is discussion of valve events, which are controlled by the cam- and their affect on the power curve. what affect and early opening of the intake valve should open ie. B4 TDC or ATEC etc. and how a narrow LSA makes this happen sooner and why a narrow LSA createds higher cylinder becaus ethe valves are both closed longer, which is why it creates more torque in the basement..........

ie:
2000 silverado ECSB 4x4
motor:4.8
trans: 5 speed
converter: N/A
gear ratio: 3:73's
bolt ons: long tubes, intake, true dual exhaust, ls1 fans, tune etc?
cam chosen: comp 212/218 .522/.529 114 LSA
idle quality: lopey/stockish sound?
powerband: 2200-6200
how do you like it:great all around daily driver cam, truck sounds great with it!
this is just an idea but if everyone puts in their input in a sticky it might calm down the 'is this cam for me' threads...just a thought...there are plenty of other things to add im sure...

bolt ons: long tubes, intake, true dual exhaust, ls1 fans, tune etc?

idle quality: lopey/stockish sound?
powerband: 2200-6200
