Aggressive Cams?

it's a high lift xe270 for all intents and purposes. Disregard generic stages. Stages are for those that can't match parts by reading specifications. Your cam will need 3.55:1 gears or better, a higher stall tq converter if you're automatic, and a tune (for idle, timing and fuel delivery) to be properly installed. I'd be pretty worried about PTV with that high lift and the long duration. I'm betting you'll have to advance or retard the cam to keep from hitting the slugs.

ORIGINAL: ben790450Yea but theyre cut for N/A specifically
My cams have 230* intake duration and they are too agressive for me but that is me. I would prefer to make power across the rpm range as it is a street car and not a track car however I have an automatic and after the shifts the revs are at 4300rpm and that is in the cams power range up to 6000rpm+. Botom end is where they hurt so a higher stall converter is going in. I also have an SVO intake which makes power moreso above 4000rpm's. So if I can et the bottom end back with the stall, JLT CAI and dyno tune I will be OK. Otherwise smaller cams will be needed. Maybe Crower stage 2's with low lift, .532"/.532" and 220*/224* duration on 114* LSA's. By the way what are the Lobe Separation Centers on your cams? Under 112* will make for more overlap and a rougher idle.
