You cam detemines the power band, so if you change the cam, you will change all the characteristics of the motor. So if you do a big cam, you wont have the bottom end power anymore.

If you are looking for all around power do an LE1.

You sig says you are doing an LE Package soon, talk to him, tell him what you want the car to do and he can set you up with exactly what you want.

Re: top end cam!!

LE2 cam is going to peak at about 6500-6600rpm so on a stock bottom end that's about all the top end you need.

Yeah, that part can happen.... most times it's because of the NAZZZ that helps the rod go stage right.

Hell I can't go much smaller with the thing and it has a stout enough TQ curve as it is....
