A cam is always a compromise in one way or another, and it again boils down to what the person wants, doesn't want, the supporting mods, and how the vehicle is used. Simply assuming all those aspects just because it's a "street car" is not the best approach, and is still not a "one size fits all" definition.

So a cam that MAY fall short by maybe 10rwhp at 6500rpm but has 30/60 lbft more torque at 3000rpm is a compromise? A cam doesn't really have to be a compromise if it fit's the application your using it for. That's where having a cam spec'd by a knowledgeable cam person goes a long ways.
