I have an ELGIAN race cam and it idles choppy and at about 500-550 rpm but i dont think thats what you want.This thing is LOPEY!It really shakes the s**t out of the car and with solid mounts you feel it in your teeth!</P>


But to answer your question the best cam is not the same for everyone it depends on your plans and mods to the engine.If this is a dalily driven car you obviously (UNLESS YOU ARE ME) wouldnt want a choppy idle that lopes real hard.The best cam is the one thats designed to take advantage of your mods to the fullest.</P>


What are your plans for this?Give us more info.To be honest im not personally a big fan of the factory camshafts.Theyre good and all its just that they dont really offer a really radical setup like the aftermarket does.But that again comes down to your personal needs.</P>
