Very interesting spread sheet.  If there is a true "crawler cam" for low RPM it is surely the stock profile.  I can see why the low end grunt has impressed me. Clearly made for 55-65 mph with little tires with the peak tq at 2,800. I can also see why I have a harder time pushing the head winds and pulling passes.

Both the 261C and the LC cam would give more drivability for demanding conditions on the road for sure.  You can see why the 261 is a favorite with the most pull at the rpm right where we cruise down the highway.  You can also see why Glen's truck hauls ass with the most umph in the acceleration pocket of the rpms and really putting out at the upper end.  Totally kicked everything's butt starting at 3,600 rpm.  You can see why he can pull on a 3RZ.

It would be a tough choice between the two cams for me.  I guess it would really depend on my intended use for the particular truck.  I think I would have liked the 261C in my 4runner with road tripping but in a hot dog pickup for short trips and dirt roads I think I would like the LC.

I am continuously going at 3,800 rpm bucking head winds though, where the LC cam would help me.  The question is however if I would need to push it that hard if I had the 261C, where I could probably be 1 gear higher.  I would love to build both engines and try them out and see which is more practical.

I am bench racing with myself.  I guess I'm crazy.
