I have a few cars with various cams.
Stock is fine although stock is just stock.
Road is nice, perfect for regular driving with a nice "kick" to it.
Rally is a bittoo much for everyday driving, power comes off the cam at higher
rpms.
Idle is a bit lumpy, and that's at about 1500 rpms, it won't idle below that.
Race (like my sons Mini) is too radical (try telling that to an 18 year old) It
will not idle below 2,000 rpms, needs mega carbueretor, headers, and a good
supply
of spark plugs 'cause they foul often just riding around town. Goes like hell
though!
For your car, I recommend a road cam. You probably won't be happy with anything
more aggressive unless you plan on racing more then cruising.
