I think the decision has to be your own. I could easily say Hot Cam cause that is what I have. But that might not be what your looking for. It is a great cam with stock heads & keeps your power where you say you want it. But there are also a lot of other cams or custon grinds you can choose from.
I guess I can put it this way. If I had to do it all over again I would still go with my Hot Cam. But now you have to chose & live with it especially if you can't just swap cams like candy for $$$ reasons.

Good Luck with your choice
