Cam Experts: Lobe Separation Angle?

IMO
Since 1970, I've had four 340 cars, all 4speed/3.55, all with that stinking cam in them. All of them laid down at about 85 mph. which is 5500rpm in Third gear. I had guys in 440 New Yorker family boats, and such, that I annihilated off the line, that by 75 were getting bigger in my mirror, and pulling on my bumper by 80, and had I not specified
"I only race to 85", they wouldda had me in the quarter, which none of my stockers could break 100mph; not even the nearly brand new one that I bought in fall of 1970.
That is kind of my point. Many aren't going to spend much time if any near 5500 rpm. Whats the intended use?
Cams like many things are compromises. What compromises are you willing to make? There is no perfect cam that gives you everything not to say you won't be very happy with a properly selected cam if you are honest about your requirements.
