well you want a cam to cover every thing ? if you want a hi torque cam mild range ok and you want a top end cam? you can not have both and have vacuum ? maybe e210036. 218/218 488/488 110lc

Thanks pat, well I dont want to cover everything I was wanting a balanced cam good for close to 1500-5500 but have a good idle. I never really understood much about cams other than the lift and adv. duration. what exactly affects the idle and the vacuum? Thanks!

the way i see it duration and lobe separation angle as well go hand in hand. on vacuum less lc and more dur the less vacuum
