since you have a 9 there are a lot of recent threads on cams, in particular the cosworth which seem to be making nice power along with the new GSC...

 

Yeah I understand that. It's just hard to filter through all the information and at the same time keep up with the lingo that is used.

is there a common rule of thumb with cams? For example, the 264/264 gives you most low end at a loss of top, 272/272 best of both worlds, and 280/280 gives more top end at a loss of low end?

I'm not really concerned about idling as jestr told me he could make even 280's idle like stock.

Just what would be recommended for my bolt-on type mods...
