I currently have a pretty big cam (Black mamba) but I am swapping to a small custom EPS cam (Cam Motion) that is only a little bit bigger than stock: 222/238 118 +4 .639"/.604" Geoff said it should drive really nice and be very torquey.
My other power Mods are PRC 265 heads, Kooks LT's with cats & Halltech intake. Not sure what I will do on a Dyno but I'm guessing somewhere around 525rwhp, although I realize it might be less.
With cars like the 2017 Camaro ZL1 coming out, it makes me wonder if I went too small, but with Long Island traffic I really had to prioritize drivability.

Yeah I hear ya man..I just don't want to lose to a camaro, haha
But truth is I very rarely race anyone anymore, and if I do I don't get crazy. These days I Mostly just cruise and have a little fun once in a while.

Well tonight I was going to do the famous wiggle test. Pulled a rocker and could freaking move a valve with the spring still on it and no air in the cylinder. On a positive note I'm glad I caught it when I did.

Like I said elsewhere, wiggle test is like looking at a tire to see if it is flat. Can't tell the exact pressure, or if it is 28psi when you want 30, but you sure as hell can tell if it is flat.
