I am building a motor to use in my hummer style kit car.

The specifications on the motor are thus:
82x94 PC
Full Flow Oil
Dual 44IDF
AJ Sims Level 6 Heads 42 X 37.5 valves, Dual valve springs
1.4 Scat Rockers (Optional depending on Cam advice)
Mallory Unilite
1 5/8 Phoenix Header
9.5:1 Compression expected
Rotating Assembly Balanced
All German Doghouse Tin.

I would like some advice on what Cam to use with this engine that would provide the following attributes:
Good low-mid range torque without sacrificing too much on the top end. The vehicle will be used some off-road but mostly street driven. It will be a daily driver (hopefully)

I am partial to WebCam but any and all suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks...
...Steve

I think a web 86B will work wonders. If you need more low down torque, try look for something a little smaller

122/125 with a stock...without a doubt.

The 86B is not a torque cam.........for pure torque try a 218.

Jake,
What is the fundamental performance difference or application difference between the 122/125 and the 218?
Thanks in advance...
