Interesting, so perhaps it could be said that a cam that allows the engine to develop relatively high cranking speed cylinder pressures may relate to poor low speed driveability. Obviously there are other factors like compression ratio and fuel that come into play. The point being that the OP may want to take this in to consideration when making his cam selection.

One thing I got to say on this subject is when I talked to Ken the first time for the first cam I convinced them I knew what I wanted and he gave it to me LOL... honestly at first it was kind of cool and great at the track but as I found out the track was expensive and driving on the street was a lot less expensive I started finding out how undesirable the cam became on the street...
That was a learning experience. The next time I went to him we had another long discussion and I told him how I'd like it to idle better but I'd like it to not lose all of its mojo... Suggestion and I went with the current grind and I'm happy with it.. if I was to redo it again I may give a little more lift, but the duration seems fine...
That's what drew me to the conclusion that his first recommendation would probably be the best...
