Default RE: TOO BIG OF A CAM?

ok well thats why i need yalls help then cause im a dumbass when it comes to dur. and such. i just dont want to stick a cam in thats sounds and performs the same as a stock cam. i want a nice lope but will give me a good amount of performance. its a daily driver. i have big tube headers now and will be getting the cam/intake/and carb all together from either summit or jegs so i need to know what size cam i should run. whats yalls suggestion to build a good torqy street car? give me a setup i should run.

Companies like Comp will list what the cam is for, things such as "Bigger intake, gears, exhaust" or "Works well with heads, intake, exhaust 3.55+ gears" etc. Builds need to be thought out, everything has to work together. Like dodgestang said, you mismatch stuff and you end up with a textbook car that's a dog.
