Cam shootout mild engine, on 350 still useful.

What makes you think it needed more below 3000? It wasn't in a dump truck.

I'm proud we don't all live in a little box ruled by theory. We'd all be driving stock cammed, two barrel 318's with iron manifolds talking about how they are the perfect hot rod engine.

True but the engines in this thread are 250-350 hp idle to 5500 rpm, So yes for you under 3000 rpm don't matter but for 99.98% it does and for most above 4000 rpm don't matter.
