Re: Looking for mild cam - any suggestion

Another cam I'm running in my smallblock powered S10 Blazer right now is one from Crane's Blue Racer line that has 214/224 duration and .442/.465 lift. I feel it's a much better choice for a mostly stock engine. Still has a noticeable idle, good torque and I'm getting great gas mileage. I've been running it for 42,000 miles now and runs just like the day I put it in.
Agree with the choices stated above for a daily user.
