C6Dvl's Cam only from ECS did astonishingly well. First Cam only to hit 10.6 in the 1/4. ECS was the first. I'll try and find the video, and the dyno chart.

I have been following your thread and it has some good info. I wanted to start this thread because I do not have to worry about sniffers. You specified "sleeper type cams". I am leaning toward a nasty sounding street cam but at the same time one with good manners that makes power all over.

What idle speed are you using with it?

Ed, I am going to have to BUG you for the specs on this cam. 
Funny that in the first graphic the cam is milder, in comparison to the later graph, but the TQ curve is a lot nicer and rises at an earlier RPM. It is better under the curve.

Or at least overlap at .05 and intake duration. 
Actually milder cams often do that. Less overlap can improve low end torque because the mixture is a little less polluted. Some milder cams use earlier IVC which increases SCR and helps the low end. This cam peaks pretty high (looks like it might pull to 6800) so I tend to doubt the IVC is real early.

I wouldn't be too surprised.
I put a cam with an IVC = 35 that had great low end in my LS1. This was on stock exhaust manifolds too. It shift nicely at 6400, which did surprise me since going in I thought it would peak early and be dead by 6200.
Master, I shall mediate upon your words.
