I did a good article for Modified Mag on camshaft selection and what all the cam specs meen and how they relate to each other. It's rather in-depth but worth the read. It came out one or two issues ago. I still am working on a big cam comparison project for EVO8 cams, but it's still a ways off.

Only problem is the articles take a lot of room and I've been getting my *** kicked on bandwidth on my website, does someone here have room to hose them?

Martin,
How much space do you need. I'm sure I can host the images for you, to keep bandwidth down.
Shoot me an email. justdsm@hotmail.com

One thing I have noted after getting my Piper Rally cams installed is that with a stock head and turbo, my Evo is esentially "over camed". Once I have the head ported and larger valves installed the cams should really come into their own.
Currently my Evo with Piper Ralley cams is putting out about 300 whp and 293 torque - on 93 Octane pump gas. My car has an XEDE for engine management, 3" turbo back exhaust and K & N Typhoon intake. That plus the cams and Ferrea valve springs and retainers are it for engine mods. Once I dial the boost back up a bit and do more tuning I should have even more power.
A huge thanks to Mark at Quantum Racing for getting me the Piper cams and Ferrea valve springs and retainers.

Anyway...what is Quantum Racing's website. I am researching cams. How is your idle?? This is very important to me because I would like a fast car with plenty of room for power but dont want a drag car.
Thanks

Right now my idle is pretty good, but it has some room for improvement. However that idle is essentially "untuned". I'll be fixing the idle this weekend when I look at trying to build more power.
As for the "censored" in my sig, that is from quite a while ago. I should probably update it with something new. How would "My Evo has passed a Lamborghini Gallardo on a race track - at speed - twice!" look?
