I dont have the slightest idea. I want something real aggressive, but still tuneable. I want a torquey cam but not crazy low end because i've already got gears, and would like to be able to keep the rear sorta planted. still trying to find dynos of different cams and figure out exactly what im lookin for.

probably leaning towards option B for now anyways, unless i find the perfect cam for a great price
