340 cam change

I wasn't being conservative. Whenever a cam is discussed everyone automatically thinks quarter mile. In his post he said he is not racing. I was thinking lo compression 340 strictly on the street that will boil the tires and "pull stumps"! from 1000 rpm up.

Worrying about performance at a 1000 rpms sound being very conservative to me, it's not a slight, nothing wrong choosing cams on the conservative side especially if the OP is similar. Yes not everything is quarter mile, but someway it is even if you don't race. If you looking for more power generally your gonna go faster in the quarter mile, so there generally a quarter mile ish performance your looking for be it 15's or 12's or 9's etc... Zero to Sixty or Eighty probably be a better street metric.

To me there's basically three to types of performance on the street part throttle normal driving 1000-2500/3000 rpm and aggressive part - full throttle generally 3000-5500/6500 rpm type performance, Then there's how your car goes between the two.

I think a lot of it comes down how sensitive you are about how your car handles going from normal drive to full throttle performance don't necessarily think its a torque thing, probably how quickly the throttle response is from cam overlap, tune, gearing, stall, velocity etc..
