With my cam (specs posted above) I have a semi-rough idle at 800-900 rpm but not bad. With a light car, 3:54 rear and stick there are no driveability issues at all. It will pull hard from 2K to 5800 and doesn't start falling off until 6k. Tq peak is around 4K. Doesn't mean a milder cam is bad (after all how often are you going to go past 5K), nor a more aggressive one either. I agree in these cars you don't want (or need) to over do the cam.
