No cam specs? Well my suggestion would be, not that one.

2 very important pieces of information needed to make any recomendations on anybody's engine build are intended use and budget. More often than not people think a "daily driven street build" Should spin to 9000rpm and peak power at 8700rpm, and stay within a $2000 budget.

For a 22R that is still stock internally and will be used in a 4WD application, my suggestion is to find a cam with the closest to stock specs with as much lift as possible with the stock valve train.

Otherwise, a nonmodded engine that the owner just want to use a bigger cam because he wants more power my suggestion is a 500 degree cam with 3 inches of lift. Yeah, that should do it. :thumbs:

As for toilet paper? 30 grit!
