A 286 cam and a 5 speed will sit at 4k and 80 mph all day and foot to the
floor will soon produce 4.5k and 90 all day without being too noisy.
How fast do you like to cruise.
FWIW I think the best cams and Women are on the wild rather than mild side.
and as for anything postively racey...........mmmmm. Of course introduce
some alcohol and irrespective of the cam both the engine and woman liven up!

<< Since I have my engine apart again (shortly after a full rebuild), I am
considering going with a Kent 266 instead of the VP7. The rest of my engine
is fairly stock and this car is supposed to be a relaxed cruiser to offset
the 4000-8500 rpm powerband of my modified X1/9.
The cam and lifters are just run in (properly at ~2000rpm for about 15
minutes) and I marked the lifters as to which one is which.
This cam is as good as new so I am thinking that someone might want to buy
it or trade for a 266 with lifters. I also have the special APT valve
springs and retainers that I could be talked out of. Any interest?
