Buying a Cam

[BIG D's SS]

I am planning on a cam swap fri night. I have narrowed it down between 3 cams. Comp Cams 232/240 605/609 112 sep, 232/234 595/598 112 sep, 224/230 581/588 112 sep. Hi-tech pushrods and beehive springs. Which one would be the best. I want the lope at idle and I also want it to run. Mods are in sig below. What else should I need other than a tune? Please respond quick need to get parts asap.

the 232/234 is going to have a higher powerband. its more of a high midrange to topend cam. its will lope pretty hard if its a comp gring, but it depends on what lobes your get it with. Id personally go with a dual spring kit and be done with it.

the 232/240 is a g5x2 clone...not a bad cam, but you can get the same power with a smaller cam and it would be much better to drive daily.
