Topic: Please Help - considering after market cam

[i_luv_my_truck]

Would someone please assist.  I'm building a 22R engine.  I'm considering a custom cam.  But, there are many on the market.  Does a cam actually increase horsespower?  What would be a good performance cam for street and play?

Thanks in advance,
Ernest

How did it change performance?  Are you satisfied?  Which cam did you get?  comp cams shows 4 different cams for 22R:

How's the idle?  did it improve wide range performance (low, med, high)?  did you do LCE recommended install, or did you keep stock rockers, springs, etc?:
