Default Which Cam should I use?

I have the MTI Stage I (that's one) heads, the MTI True Ram Air Induction kit, and TPIS Headers. It's also a 6 speed.

I want the car to pull from mid-rpm's on up, and don't want just a top end car, even if I sacrifice a few hp's at redline . . .

Anyone have any suggestions on which cam I should use, and why? I'll probably get the cam and kit from MTI . . .

Thanks!

Karl

Since you have MTI heads and want to go with a MTI cam, you should probably talk to them as they should know what cam would match up best with your heads to give you the characteristics that you want.

A B1 or TR220 will work nice with those heads.
