Default Cam recommendations?

I would like a cam with a nice lope, but I also don't want to spin the heck out of my motor. I have 47K on my motor, and I'd like it to see 100K. What are my options. The hotcam doesn't have the sound I'm looking for.

I've been suggested a few different Lunati cams, and I've also heard good things about the 305 and some of the extreme energies cams.

Thanks,
Josh

The sound your looking for :confused:

What are you looking for? The hotcam had a pretty good lope, just idle it at 750. The CC305 will have a slightly more agressive lope if you get it turned on a 112 lsa like the hotcam.

I like the way the 306 sounds, but I know that's too much cam for my application.

Yeah, the 306 is too much for me too. The HOT cam is just perfect for me. The 383 "de-cam's" it a bit, which is ok by me.. I like the cam being hidden just slightly ... yet if you listen you can hear it and ya know you're in trouble :) hehehe

Yeah, idle it at 700-750 and it sounds good... will sound evven better with a 350. The 112lsa is good. 110 might be a little much for some.
